Hopi Bear Cuff

Sterling silver overlay cuff bracelet featuring a pair of bears framed within bold geometric motifs that echo traditional Hopi designs. Ricky Coochwytewa’s precise linework brings texture and dimension to the bears, while the deep oxidized background enhances the contrast and clarity of the imagery. The surrounding elements include stepped mountains, radiating sun forms, and curved plant motifs, all arranged in a balanced, symmetrical composition.

Ricky Coochwytewa (born 1951) is the son of master silversmith Victor Coochwytewa and carries forward his father’s hallmark precision, balance, and refined overlay technique. His work is admired for its clarity of line, disciplined symmetry, and strong cultural storytelling, all of which are showcased beautifully in this cuff.

From the historic Kopavi Collection, this bracelet has never been previously owned.
