This elegant bracelet by Santo Domingo silversmith John Aguilar features a Sleeping Beauty turquoise stone set in sterling silver. The band is carefully stamped by hand, adding texture and depth to the design. At its heart, a bear claw motif symbolizes strength, bravery, and spiritual protection, qualities deeply valued in Native tradition.
Aguilar’s jewelry reflects a lifetime of experience and learning passed through generations. His work balances refined craftsmanship with cultural expression, creating pieces that carry both artistry and story. This bracelet is a quiet statement piece, wearable in daily life yet carrying the power of its symbolism. It embodies the enduring strength of tradition, and the artistry of an individual who has dedicated his life to keeping it alive.
Care instructions: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouches, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, water, and prolonged sunlight. Regularly clean with a soft cloth and mild silver polish or a baking soda/water mixture and wear it often to maintain its luster.
