Handmade Sterling Silver & Red Coral "Scarlet Arroyo" Bracelet created by Navajo silversmith Herman Smith. This extraordinary sterling silver bracelet features dozens of individually hand-set natural red coral stones, creating a continuous stream of rich scarlet hues framed by handcrafted sterling silver.
Every stone has been carefully cut, matched, and set by hand—a labor-intensive process requiring exceptional precision and years of silversmithing experience. The oxidized sterling silver beautifully enhances the brilliance of the coral while adding depth and character to this bold yet timeless design. It is a bracelet that commands attention not through size alone, but through artistry.
What makes Scarlet Arroyo even more remarkable is the coral itself. Once a hallmark of Southwestern jewelry, fine natural red coral has become increasingly difficult to obtain. Decades of conservation efforts, stricter harvesting regulations, and the coral's exceptionally slow natural growth have dramatically reduced the availability of high-quality material. As a result, authentic handcrafted Native American jewelry featuring genuine natural coral has become increasingly prized by collectors who appreciate both its beauty and its growing rarity. Created by Navajo artisan Herman Smith, Scarlet Arroyo is more than an exquisite bracelet—it is wearable art that reflects a proud silversmithing tradition while preserving one of nature's increasingly precious treasures. A striking addition to any collection today, it is a piece destined to become an heirloom for generations to come.
