1930's 3 Row Ingot Silver Cuff with Fox Turquoise
Zuni
- About The 1930's 3 Row Ingot Silver Cuff with Fox Turquoise
- Jewelry
This three row cuff was fabricated from ingot sheet silver using a dark old solder. The silver raindrops are smelted as flux was unavailable to this silversmith. The torch was probably a hand-held can model "affectionately" dubbed "the bomb". The bezels were serrated using a wood roughing file.
Thirty six rectangular cabochons, approximately 5/16" X 3/16" were hand cut from natural, intense blue, Fox mine Nevada turquoise. A single curved design stamp was used to decorate the sides of each of the three bands, as they taper to their joining at a terminal bar or "foot".
