Tom Charley is a renowned Navajo silversmith from Crownpoint, New Mexico, creating distinctive jewelry since 1977. His signature “melon” style features ribbed, segmented silver designs with a bold, three-dimensional look that feels substantial yet remains lightweight and comfortable.
Key characteristics of his work include: 
Melon/Ribbed Design: Raised, domed silver bars that form a textured, segmented pattern. 
Twisted Wire Accents: Intricate rope-style borders that frame many pieces. 
Oxidized Details: Darkened recesses that enhance depth and highlight craftsmanship. 
He is perhaps best known for cuff bracelets and this is an excellent example at 3/4 inch width. It would make a smashing addition to anyone's collection.
