Experience the timeless artistry of Navajo craftsmanship with the tufa cast sterling silver necklace by artisan Aaron Anderson. Adorned with exquisite fleur-de-lis crosses, skillfully cast in sterling silver using the ancient tufa casting technique, this piece becomes a captivating blend of heritage and individuality.
Naturally found on the Navajo reservation, tufa stone is a compressed material formed from volcanic ash. Unlike sandstone, it offers ease of carving and, when used for casting, imparts a distinctive texture to the metal as it cools due to its porous nature. Tufa casting is a meticulous and intricate process that entails multiple steps, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship involved in its creation.
