A massive hand-wrought mixed metal cuff with sweeping lines, molten-drop accents, and a bold Modernist Brutalist form.
Heavy-gauge brass, copper, and white-metal wires intertwine in an open sculptural composition. A broad textured copper arc crosses the brass framework, while silver-colored molten drops punctuate the white-metal wire. Rounded ball terminals complete the design.
Estimated circa the 1980s, this unsigned bracelet has impressive depth and a substantial 139-gram weight. No maker’s mark was found.
