- About The Geometric Channel Inlay Cuff
Presenting a clean, little geometric channel inlay cuff from the mid to late 1940's.
This nicely crafted Zuni bracelet is inlaid with with 36 triangular natural blue-green turquoise stones, set in two rows of 18, across the entire front half of the piece.
The construction, wonderfully accomplished with the two sheets of rolled silver soldered together, is entirely fabricated then filed and sanded to shape. The "window" cut in the top sheet was filled with hand-cut and soldered pieces of silver for the channels receiving each stone.
This piece of jewelry is deceptively simple in appearance, but that is part of what makes it so good! It will easily fit a wrist of 5 3/4" up to 6". Shape of wrist must be taken into consideration, as this style is best worn fitted and sculpted inside for comfort.
