This wedding bracelet is a very traditional Navajo item. The pattern inscribed in the cuff is to be unique to the couple. This bracelet was created in the traditional manner using skills taught to me by a good friend of mine with the promise I would not mass produce them and only make them under certain circumstances. In honoring my friends request I do not make or sell these bracelets unless certain criteria are met. If you are in need of a set of these bracelets, and are supposed to have them, then you will know what that criterion is.
These bracelets are important cultural items and were never supposed to be sold to as tourist items, so it saddens me greatly to see some cheaply made, stamped bracelets being passed off as wedding bracelets.
