DescriptionA tufa-cast silver cuff bracelet with pictographic designs. The inside of the cuff features cloud, rain, and star imagery. Compressed volcanic ash forms the porous tufa rock that is found in the Southwest United States. Artists collect and use it as the carving and mold material for creating finished jewelry. Tufa has a porous nature which is responsible for the look and texture associated with tufa cast jewelry.On View
