DESCRIPTION: Offered here is a HUMONGOUS (we're not kidding) turquoise bracelet. This is a massive statement piece with a stone that measures 4.5" X 7" at the widest and longest points. It has a great matrix with pyrite running through (looks like a big old piece of Morenci mine turquoise). The stone is set in a handmade bezel and then accented with leaf applique designs and hand filed silver work. It is mounted on a cuff with 9 round (heavy gauge) wires and more silver leaf applique with other silver work accents, all of which nicely support this beast of a stone. It has an old fair entry tag attached (possibly the New Mexico state fair) and is made from sterling silver.
This huge bracelet came from old stock that had been stored away for many years. Originally it was from a New Mexico shop that ceased doing business in the 1970s.
MAKER: Hallmarked FS (and the tag says Felicita Sandoval).
APPROX AGE: Circa 1970s.
SIZE: Inside circumference measures 6-7/8 inches long. Opening is an additional 1-1/4 inches, fitting about an eight inch wrist. Width is 8 inches. Weighs a WHOPPING 789 grams.
CONDITION: Good, minimal wear expected. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description and are hereby incorporated into the description, specifically with regards to condition.
