Description:
This is a beautiful traditional sandcast bracelet from the 60's.  It is a heavy vintage piece with a patina.  The sides look like a fleur-de-lis design and the top has three sections to add to the design.  The four high quality stones in the center are free-form and make a cross like pattern They are set in sawtooth bezels.   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 been previously owned and comes from our collection of estate pieces.  A museum quality bracelet.
