Tufa Cast Bracelet by Ernest Rangel

Ernest Rangel is a Navajo silversmith and professional rodeo cowboy known for his rugged, high-quality silverwork. When he’s not competing, he creates jewelry using traditional, labor-intensive techniques like tufa casting—where molten silver is poured into hand-carved volcanic stone molds to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Rich with elemental depth, this striking sterling silver cuff showcases that ancient casting method perfectly, balancing a bold, organic texture with sharp geometric lines.
