This open design silver bracelet was tufa cast and finished to a beautiful design bracelet.  A large turquoise stone sits beautifully at the center of the bracelet with sun rays flowing out from two ends.  The cast silver was finished to a beautiful smooth surface that has now slightly tarnished to a fine patina.  The bracelet probably dates to the mid-20th century.
