ABOUT THE ARTIST:
When Sunshine’s brothers “Gary & David Reeves” taught the young Daniel (aka: Sunshine Reeves) the art of metalsmithing, little did Sunshine know that he would rise to be one of the industries most sought out names & has now held the prestigious title of “Master” artist for decades now.
Like any “Rockstar” in their field, all you have to say is this one name, “Sunshine” and people immediately know who you’re talking about. When his name comes up, you automatically think, “Old School-Traditional Navajo Jewelry, Heavy gauge sterling, impeccable stamping, art in metal form, high grade materials & labor intensive jewelry.”
He’s a man of many skills & can take you on a metal journey from creating the best bracelets, to phenomenal belt buckles to technically created sterling boxes, traditionally designed Navajo knives, bowls, and candle holders, where on each you'll find his signature style intricate stamp work on everything he creates. He has taken in major awards for his art & I say ‘art’ in every true sense of the word, since on an average piece, Sunshine will use 10 to 20 different handmade stamps to create the unique patterns for which he is so well known. In other words, his work is more than simply another cuff or ring or another box -- to him & for us, it's "art in metal form” (This cuff is the perfect example)
Sunshine's work is highly collectible & is collected throughout the world, including Japan, Europe, and Korea. You will find his work in higher end galleries in throughout the southwest including Santa Fe & Gallup, as well as being proudly displayed in galleries and museums across the country.

SIZING:
Because of the heavy gauge sterling this is made with, this cannot be adjusted, so it's of extreme importance that you know your wrist size and what gap opening works best for it to comfortably fit over the arm. Cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet & it is important they fit right! It is made for a average medium to a larger wrist size, but also for a wrist that needs just a bit more of a gap opening. If you are unsure of your wrist size,I suggest you click this link: "How To Fit A Cuff " and also I suggest you copy/paste the YouTube link I have there, that shows the right way, you should put a cuff on! If you are not sure of your size, please go over this before purchasing & or contact me.
