This unusual bracelet was formed from a flat silver strip then cut into a design with arrowhead ends and a ribbon center. The designs consist of repoussé concho buttons on the arrowheads; four small repoussé buttons at the corners of the top panel; and various stamped designs throughout the band. It was then curved into bracelet shape.

Three light green turquoise gemstones were attached to the silver by bezels. The center turquoise is round and the other two are oval. All have beautiful copper matrices running through the turquoise.

This is a bracelet that will receive many compliments when being worn.
