Cuff bracelet with 13 bezel-set cabochon turquoise stones. The bracelet was formed from heavy sheet silver sawn in a scallop pattern to fit the curves of the stones. The ends of the cuff have an extra layer of silver applied by soldering on top of the primary sheet to create a feather-like relief pattern.
