The foundation of this bracelet consists of three silver flat strips spread at the center and soldered at the ends.  The foundation supports three silver conchas, each highly decorative and each with a small turquoise cab. The bracelet is stamped with the initials RB enclosed in a line drawing of a bear.  This hallmark sign is not included in any of my hallmark reference books, so the artist is probably a young person who was not active when the books were compiled.  The Silver and Turquoise Bracelet with Three Discs does have the look of being relatively new.

 

Condition: new condition

 

Provenance: from the collection of a family from Santa Fe
