This exceptional cuff bracelet by renowned Hopi jeweler Sonwai (Verma Nequatewa) is a true masterwork of contemporary Native American jewelry. Handmade in sterling silver, the bracelet features a vibrant inlay of lapis lazuli, turquoise, red coral, and fine gold lines—each stone meticulously cut and inlaid. As the niece and former apprentice of the legendary Charles Loloma, Sonwai carries forward his innovative legacy while continuing to evolve her own unique voice in Native American art. Working from her studio in Hotevilla, Arizona, on the Hopi Reservation, she creates one-of-a-kind pieces that honor cultural tradition while pushing the boundaries of design and material. More than a bracelet, this piece is a wearable sculpture—a museum-quality example of fine Native American jewelry.
