Tufa Cast Repoussé Blossom Cluster Cuff – Stewart Billie (Navajo)

This exceptional cuff by Stewart Billie brings together two of the most revered Navajo silversmithing techniques: tufa casting and repoussé. Sculptural, elegant, and deeply textured, the bracelet features a floral-inspired cluster of raised blossoms, each formed in high relief through traditional repoussé methods, cast into hand-carved tufa stone for a truly one-of-a-kind surface.

Key Features

• Repoussé Blossom Clusters – Each raised floral form is hand-shaped from the reverse side, creating dimensionality and movement without the use of solder or overlays.

• Tufa Stone Casting – Molten silver is poured into hand-carved volcanic tufa molds, giving the bracelet its signature soft, grainy surface and organic texture.

• Solid Sterling Silver – Crafted from heavyweight .925 silver, this cuff balances strength and comfort with exceptional visual impact.

• Artisan-Crafted – Stewart Billie is known for his masterful integration of traditional Navajo techniques with elegant, modern forms. His hallmark guarantees both authenticity and excellence.

• Floral Without Fragility – Though inspired by blossoms, this piece is grounded in bold structure—bringing softness and strength into a single silhouette.

Why It Stands Out

• Masterful Technique Fusion – Tufa cast and repoussé are each challenging; combining them in one cohesive design speaks to Stewart Billie’s elevated artistry.

• Textural Beauty – The surface has depth and visual rhythm, with each hammer mark and cast line telling part of the story.

• Wearable Sculpture – Museum-quality, gallery-ready, and still suited for everyday bold styling.

• Collectible Work – This is an heirloom-level bracelet for collectors who understand form, heritage, and execution.
