Description:
This is an unusual sandcast bracelet from the 70's.  The natural vine style is so graceful and smooth to wear.  The leaves and vines are heavy and three dimensional.  In the center is a rounded rectangular turquoise set with a smooth bezel.  Since this bracelet is made with the sandcasting technique, it should not be bent to fit (due to the way the silver cools in this process, it is more brittle when bent).  So it needs to be the right size - please check dimensions.  It is not signed by the artist, which was common for this time period.  It is also not marked sterling, but is guaranteed to be so.  This bracelet has not been previously owned and comes from our collection of older pieces.
