7 inch 18 cm Vintage hot Cuff Bracelet, Turquoise Sterling Silver Shadowbox, December Birthstone, Boho Southwestern Western Wear, ID 457805106
Vintage Sterling Silver Open Cuff Bracelet for 7 inch (18 cm) Wrist with Stamped Shadowbox and Bezeled Oval Turquoise
This listing would make a great gift for a December birthday or anniversary gift. It is a vintage sterling silver hand made cuff bracelet with a sawtooth bezeled 7/16 x 1/4 inch (10x6mm) oval turquoise cabochon in a stamped oval 1 1/4 x 5/8 inch (3.2 x 1.6 cm) shadowbox. The triple wire band has two outer bands of 10 gauge half round wire with a hot center twisted wire which appears to be about 14 gauge.
The bracelet measures approximately 2 1/4 inch (5.7 cm) across (inside diameter) with a 1 1/4 inch (3.2 cm) open gap in the back. It fits almost perfectly on my 7 inch 18 cm wrist. The metal in this bracelet is moderately flexible so some careful adjustments to the size can be made, however I caution against making large adjustments.
The bracelet is hand crafted evidenced by the fact that much of this bracelet is not uniform. The central shadowbox focal is not centered perfectly on the wire frame and the stampings are not uniformly positioned on the shadowbox. The wire band is not perfectly symmetrical. Please check the photos to get a better view of these unique attributes. Although there is no makers mark, the bracelet is stamped STERLING. it has tested positive for silver. I haven't observed any flaws in this bracelet only the asymmetry noted above. I consider the workmanship and materials used in this bracelet to be average for this type bracelet. I consider this bracelet to be in excellent vintage condition. The bracelet was misshapen and heavily oxidized when I acquired it. I polished it in an effort to reveal any issues with the bracelet as well as any markings.
