The deep black baleen contrasts beautifully with the soft, creamy white of the ancient fossil ivory, creating a bold graphic pattern around the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach little segment has been carefully shaped and then strung on two pieces of stretchy elastic to form an almost sculptural looking band. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBracelets of this style are especially striking when stacked with others from the Northwest Coast region creating a layered, textural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis bracelet comes from the estate of a married couple who spent more than sixty years together. From the time they were young newlyweds, collecting Native American jewelry was one of their greatest shared passions, and they continued building their collection throughout their long marriage. Turquoise \u0026amp; Tufa has had the privilege of handling pieces from their collection for the past five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bracelet measures 6 1\/4\" inside. Since it's on elastic, it stretches to go over your hand. Keep in mind that the bracelet is vintage and the original elastic remains in place. It still retains stretch, but it does need to be handled with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1511\" data-start=\"1481\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1490\" data-start=\"1481\"\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1493\" data-start=\"1490\"\u003eSegment bracelet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1556\" data-start=\"1513\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1529\" data-start=\"1513\"\u003eAttribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1532\" data-start=\"1529\"\u003eNorthwest Coast Native\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1600\" data-start=\"1558\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1572\" data-start=\"1558\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1575\" data-start=\"1572\"\u003eBaleen and fossil walrus ivory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1638\" data-start=\"1602\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1617\" data-start=\"1602\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1620\" data-start=\"1617\"\u003e6 1\/4\" inside. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1667\" data-start=\"1640\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1654\" data-start=\"1640\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1657\" data-start=\"1654\"\u003eUnsigned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1891\" data-start=\"1669\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1684\" data-start=\"1669\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1687\" data-start=\"1684\"\u003eFrom the collection of a couple who collected Native American and Indigenous jewelry throughout their sixty-year marriage; Turquoise \u0026amp; Tufa has handled pieces from this collection for the past five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"445\" data-start=\"388\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"403\" data-start=\"388\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"406\" data-start=\"403\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"532\" data-end=\"602\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turquoise \u0026 Tufa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44435730071667,"sku":"CTT839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1339\/2535\/files\/vintage-northwest-coast-baleen-and-fossil-ivory-segment-bracelet-8744565.png?v=1772874729","url":"https:\/\/turquoiseandtufa.com\/products\/vintage-northwest-coast-baleen-and-fossil-ivory-segment-bracelet","provider":"Turquoise \u0026 Tufa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
