Vintage Turquoise Cobblestone Mosaic Inlay Bracelet

Sometimes Native jewelry collectors buy pieces because solely because of the artist. Other times, they buy because the design itself is such a knockout that its creator doesn't even matter. This wide silver cuff of mosaic inlay turquoise falls into the latter category.

It's a stellar design of cobblestone inlay that uses many different types of turquoise. You'll find blues and greens, matrix and clear, triangles, diamonds and all kinds of other hand cut turquoise shapes that fit perfectly together. Running through the center of the cuff in a modernist design element are three diagonal parallel lines of silver. The resulting composition just might evoke a "Wow!" It's clearly Loloma inspired without the jaw-dropping Loloma price!

Because the vintage cuff isn't signed, we don't currently know who the artist is. That doesn't mean that one day, while wearing the turquoise bracelet around Santa Fe Indian Market or the Heard Fair, you won't find out from someone who recognizes the fantastic artistry. 

This one stands all on its own. There's no need for a stack! It measures a full 2" wide. The inside is 5 3/8" plus 1 1/4" opening, and the weight is 142 grams.
