Beautiful vintage Teme signed Solid Sterling Silver Cuff style bracelet with multi-gemstone inlay containing green & blue turquoise, sugalite, lapis, and coral. The bracelet is hallmarked "Sterling" and is signed "TEME". Teme Inc was founded by Lional McKinney, and was formally known as Sunburst Handcrafts until Mr. McKinney renamed the company to Teme. The company name comes from the Keresen word Teme, from the Pueblo of Acoma in central New Mexico, which means "Jewelry/jewelry maker". In the mid seventies an Acoma elder bestowed the name on Mr. Lional McKinney, because of Lional's passion and talent for making jewelry. Teme Inc was bought by Navajo Arts and Crafts Enterprise in 2007, and is owned by the Navajo Nation. Teme specializes in semi-precious stone inlay, which is the central feature of all sterling silver and gold Teme jewelry. Each inlaid stone is masterfully cut and fit by hand. Teme also uses a wide variety of colored gemstones in itse collection. The result is a simple, versatile, and elegant look, which characterizes all Teme jewelry. The bracelet/cuff measures a 5 1/4" inner circumference with an additional 1 3/10" opening at the back. It is approximately 1" wide at the widest point and weights 51 Grams.
