This cuff was made from ingot material using "old school" design and execution. The three "tri wire" bands have been carefully "sanded" inside, yet one can still see the elongated dimples made when the irregularities in the ingot surface distorted as the silver was rolled and pulled through a mill, by hand. The stamped decorations are all perfectly aligned giving a peaceful pleasure to the eye. Even the wire rope twists have been hammered and smoothed for a more cohesive, stronger piece! This beautifully made piece of jewelry could not be made better if it were in gold or platinum. It just looks better in silver!
