Description: Fabricated-formed sterling sliver bracelet inlaid with sugalite, fossil ivory, orange chalcedony, spiny oyster shell, and turquoise.

About this Award: Awarded to recognize high quality of craftsmanship in the integration of stone work into jewelry arts.

Jurors' Comments:
Jennifer: The inlay work was quite superb; the stones were laid tightly and the artist blended the stones elegantly into the curved surface of the bracelet.
Shonto: This has very nice unity of metal and stone and use of color.
Ramson: I appreciate the cuttle bone technique and the selection of the stones. I felt the colors complimented each other well.
