Description: This incredibly unique hand-engraved sterling silver Northwest Coast Native First Nations cuff bracelet has been created by Haisla artist, Kelvin Thompson. Measuring 1 3/4" wide by 6" long, this cuff bracelet will fit someone with a wrist that measures 6 1/4" to 7" in circumference. Note: a longer version of this bracelet can be made on request. The design depicts Halibut with School of Salmon. The bracelet has been oxidized to provide it with an antiqued appearance, and to emphasize the engraved design. Please note that this piece will be made to order and will contain slight differences from the design depicted. Kelvin has been adopted into the Haisla Nation. He carves jewellery in silver and gold, but also creates bowls and masks from alder, maple and cedar. In 1979, he studied under and worked with Barry and Derek Wilson at the Vancouver Indian Centre, and in 1980 carved a totem pole with Henry Robinson for the Indian Centre. From oxidizing to intricate cut-out work, Kelvin is always experimenting and trying new things with his jewellery. In addition, he has taught many artists how to carve in silver and gold, and he is passionate about passing skills and information on to younger carvers. From September, 2007 to February, 2008 Kelvin aided Kwakwaka’wakw/Haida artist Dan Wallace in teaching the first annual Northwest Coast Jewellery Arts Program, which was held at Vancouver’s Native Education College.
