DESCRIPTION
This watch is another colorful work of art by husband and wife team Leander and Lisa Othole. The sterling silver watch tips are inlaid with pieces of orange and red spiny oyster, jet and Sleeping Beauty turquoise. Small slivers of sterling silver separate each stone. The technique is known as channeling.
The complimentary and adjustable stretch band has been included for your convenience. The watch movement features a white Mother of Pearl face, three silver tone hands and italicized black numbers at each hour mark.
INFO
Spiny oyster is a clam shell oyster that can be found between the Northeast coast of Mexico and the East coast of Baha California in the Sea of Cortez. The shell functions the same as all clam shells but it is quite ugly on the outside with long hard extensions and a rough shell. The rest of the shell can be beautiful in different colors ranging from red, orange, yellow, purple and other shades. Each shell is cut in different sizes and shell pieces are polished for use. Much like a rough stone the polishing brings out incredible gorgeous colors! Native Americans have used shells for decades for various reasons from wampum as money to shells for jewelry.
The small pits in the shell show its authenticity. Manmade shells, made of an epoxy or plastic material, will be smooth with no pits or grooves.
Native American silversmiths use their own techniques in developing their designs in their jewelry. They work with small pieces of coral, jet and turquoise arranged in complex patterns. The small cut stones are set in to the jewelry by 3 different techniques. Needlepoint, channel or mosaic inlay. In needlepoint each stone is individually cut then mounted in its own silver bezel. When doing channel work, the silversmith constructs a honeycomb of silver pockets or channels. Within the channel he cements a small piece of stone. Mosaic inlay has its origin in the prehistoric techniques. Cut stones are arranged side by side into a mosaic which is enclosed in a silver bezel which is then mounted on a silver plate.
an epoxy or plastic material, will be smooth with no pits or grooves.

BRACELET SIZE
If you are not sure of your wrist size for a bracelet, try these steps~
Wrap a loose measuring tape or piece of string around the bone area of your wrist from point to point. Where the measuring tape meets together you will see your wrist size. If using a string, lay it flat on a ruler and you will determine your size. It is highly recommended that you buy only the bracelets that will fit your wrists. To stretch a bracelet to fit on your wrist, not only are you putting stress on the silver but also on the stones - so please know your sizes! All of our items are inspected and mailed with stones intact.
