96230022 Hopi Bracelet
96230034 Hopi Bracelet

This lovely 1/2 inch wide bracelet was created by Hopi Silversmith, Clinessia Lucas, who calls this the "Hopi Bamboo Bracelet"  The explanation of the design in her own words: "Hopi bamboo sticks represent the Hopi migration from the 3rd world to this world.  We learned to use bamboo as a planting stick from one of the tribes we came across in the migration.  We also learned about reed and tobacco. As we all did our journey to this new world that the Creator and Mother Earth gave to us, we also have to give back to them through prayer and songs.  When the men go to the kiva, they smoke to their planting sticks with Hopi tobacco for the rain clouds to help nurture the plants to reach the harvest season."    This piece measures 6 7/8 inches around the inside, which includes a 1 1/8 inch opening.  Clinessia's hallmark is stamped on the inside, which she also explains, " The hall mark is representing my Father's and Mother's Clan the Bear Paw with a C for my first name Clinessia and the Corn is the L for my last name Lucas"

96130217 Hopi Bracelet

"The Kokopelli is the representative of fertility.  They pray and play their flutes to Tawa-ee-Ta-na (Sun, our Father) to bless us with rain for our corn.  Corn is the main food by which Hopi survive.  When we came up from the 'si-pa-pu' (entrance into the fourth world) the people were given corn, a planting stick and a jar of water by Ma-sau the deity who this world belongs.  He said if we are able and willing to toil and to live a simple life by using the tools he gave us, we were welcome to stay..the easy life in the third world led to corruption and then the destruction of that world." (As told to us by Dorothy Poleyma-Kyasyousie)
This highly polished bracelet measures 1/2 of an inch wide and is a total of 6 5/8 inches around the inside, which includes the 1 inch opening.  Beautifully crafted by Ray Kyasyousie!

Notes About Bracelet Sizing:
In the description, we use the phrase "measures...a total of XX inches around the inside, which includes the XX inch opening".  This "total" would equal the measurement of a tape measure placed around the wrist comfortably,  or placed around the inside (including the opening) of an existing bracelet that fits well.
