Coming
from a family of artists, Andy Cadman began his career by making intricately
stamped traditional Native American jewelry in his early 20s. He was initially
known as the half-brother of Sunshine and Gary Reeves and the older brother of
Darrel Cadman, but he began to make a name for himself by creating pieces that
feature gem grade natural turquoise and sterling silver. His unique designs are
considered world class with their fine and heavy stamp work. He produces
jewelry in limited quantities, but you can also find his pieces at established
and reputable stores that carry authentic Native American jewelry.
Pieces
designed by Andy Cadman can be valuable additions to any collection mainly
because of the materials he uses. Some of his prized pieces include earrings
that feature precious stones like varascite. His rare gem grade New Lander
spiderweb varascite dangle earrings make up a stunning pair, featuring gems
that perfectly complement each other with their fine black webbing and stark
white details. Andy hand-braided the wire and finished the droplets in a manner
that emphasizes the stones.
Another
remarkable Andy
Cadman creation is a pair of natural rare New Lander Spiderweb varascite
stone earrings. The stones come from Nevada, and they are eye-catching with
their tan and olive hues complemented with a black and dark blue spiderweb
matrix. Andy surrounded each stone with hand-braided wire and finished it with
sterling silver round droplets at the bottom for a distinctive look. Andy
Cadman carefully chooses the stones he works with, as seen in the rare light
colored Easter blue turquoise bracelet. The three brightly colored stones are
set with a lovely elegant and traditional design.
When
buying Andy Cadman jewelry, always make sure that it comes with a certificate
of authenticity that assures you the name of the artist and his tribal
affiliation, along with the materials he used and the retail value of the
piece.
