AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Massive silver cuff bracelet with turquoise and intricate ethnic-style decoration 59.6 g

Open cuff bracelet in solid silver, adorned with three oval cabochon-set turquoises, including a larger one in the center.

The setting features a rich decoration of relief motifs, pierced volutes, twisted borders and small decorative beads. The patina on the silver highlights the craftsmanship of this ethnically styled jewelry.

There is a hallmark on the edge, difficult to decipher. The silver has also been tested with an appropriate acid, with a positive result: see photographs of the hallmark and the test.

The turquoises show blue-green hues, matrix veining and small cavities and surface irregularities that contribute to their character. These features are visible in the photographs.

Depending on lighting and shooting, the color of the turquoises may vary slightly from one photograph to another.

Oval in shape, the bracelet has a slight flexibility allowing moderate adjustment to the wrist, to be done gently.

Current inner dimensions: about 6 × 5 cm.
Opening between the ends: about 2.7 cm.
Maximum width: about 3 cm.
Minimum width at the ends: about 1 cm.
Total weight: about 59.6 g.

Good overall condition, with patina and signs of wear on the silver, as well as the irregularities of the stones described above.

The photographs are an integral part of the description.
