Very unusual "row bracelet", the cuff body and bezels are all made of silver ingot. There are 20 round and 9 oval blue and blue green natural turquoise stones arranged in a vertical 2 dot and 1 dash pattern--with silver "raindrops" between each set of 2 stacked rounds and the alternating single vertical oval. The silver ends of the cuff are decorated with hand-made stamps and each is terminated with a slender "foot" or cross bar.
This piece is elegant and strong!.
