This bracelet has a foundation of two heavy strips of sterling silver anchored at the ends with a silver bar. They spread out as the bracelet expands to the center and become the support for a medallion of elaborate silver wires, balls, and rope which surrounds a beautiful oval and domed turquoise cab which has a beautiful copper matrix in the center of the stone that resembles the shape of South America. Silver panels with repoussé embellishments flank the stone.
The silver work is that of a master silversmith and the turquoise cab was certainly the inspiration for the design of this Southwest Indian Jewelry bracelet.
Condition: very good condition
