Vintage Silver Kazakh Cuff Bracelet
A stunning vintage silver Kazakh cuff bracelet, handcrafted in the 1970s. It is made of high-grade silver with brass plates and features ornate decoration with gilded elements. Three embellished deep red glass cabochons further adorn the bracelet and a traditional claw edging provides grip. Ornate bracelets such as this one often formed part of a bride’s dowry and were treasured. A beautiful example for collectors or to be worn. cf. last photo taken in the MAP Museum, Marrakech.
Please note: this cuff is quite rigid, so please check measurements to ensure it will slide onto your wrist for wear.
