Big difference between signed HA......& Otter Studio STYLE NWC....
I used to buy hand made silver jewelry direct from Harold....& still have 2 pair of his earrings....

 

Good point komokwa

 

It is a beautiful handmade silver bracelet. I'll have a look tomorrow, and take photos. I'm about to close for the night.

 

This we gotta see; I think Komo's jealous.

 

Envious...maybe....he's made some really nice designs......but I don't get jealous...

As far as NWC stuff goes , I've bought, sold, and held some of the best !

 

The bracelet, I bought it in the 90s to go with some older NW jewellery I have. I also bought a Sisiutl ring, which I think is also his. It is probably in another box.
Nice detail, it looks best when you hold it and turn it because when the sun face is right side up, the two halves of the orca's head on either side are upside down and vice versa. He also titled and signed it that way.
Anyway, here it is, Orca and Sun:

 

From the other box, the Sisiutl ring, also by Harold Alfred, and also bought 1990s. Symmetrical, just like the bracelet:

 

Those are beautiful pieces AJ

 

Thanks, cx. I love NW NA art in general, but for these I chose designs that mean something to me, even though I am obviously not NA.

 

Strange design......but still nice !!!

 

That's a fine Sisiutl !!
I luv it when they put a lot of work into the small space of a ring !!!
I won't bother to show my earrings......they don't come near that ring !!!

 

Please...u don't have to be NA to love Northwest Coast 1st Nations art & culture !
It either grows on ya...or it don't !
& if'n it do.....they yous a hooked !!! .... fer life !

 

As if he is saying, things never are as they seem, up can be down, down can be up.

My favourite is that perfect little hand, like a statement of its own.

Please do, I'd love to see them.

 

Don't I know it, I've been hooked since early childhood. Never regretted it.
Gorgeous bracelets!

 

if i can get shots i'll post em.....but you'll be dissapointed.......or you'll luv em.....
one never knows....do one !

 

I'll post some of my older 'stuff' as well. The ones that were the reason for buying the bracelet and ring. I am a compulsive 'set wearer', even though everyone tells me it is not fashionable. What do I care, I want a set, even if it is not made as a set.

 

I have sets...expensive sets.........but lets see your older stuff 1st...

 

They are penny sized...more or less...

 

those are very nice komokwa amazing detail for that small a surface!

 

Not bad...but the smaller you go ...the finer the design has to be...to be any good...or even seen.....
This Haida bracelet...one of the best I've ever owned...... a quarter inch tall....
Sublime.....
