On a silver platform that was oxidized black, the jeweler overlaid a silver form consisting of a pair of silver bars as a frame for the balance of the bracelet. Between the silver bars the silversmith inserted a large silver leaf on each side of the bracelet. On the top, attached to the oxidized silver, rests five beautiful blue turquoise cabs encircled by a dozen silver drops. The turquoise cabs float on the darkened background.

The bracelet is firm in strength and relatively heavy in silver content. It was not signed by the artist. It appears to be of the late twentieth century.
