A delicate vintage sterling silver cuff bracelet with tiny turquoise snake-eye cabochons and an old pawn style Southwest look.
This narrow open cuff is set with eleven small round turquoise cabochons across the front, creating a classic snake-eye / petit point effect. The petite scale makes it especially good for stacking, while the oxidized silver setting gives the turquoise a beautiful contrast.
The bracelet is unmarked and has been carefully tested to verify sterling silver content. The underside has a textured surface often seen in sandcast-style Southwest jewelry, though the maker and exact tribal attribution are unknown.
