Tuareg Silver and Wood Cuff

A dark cuff with a pale chevron, like a tiny helmet visor.

This ebony and sterling silver cuff from the Tuareg peoples is Tuareg, from West or North Africa, and is contemporary. Ebony is a very dense, dark hardwood that takes a smooth polish, and it contrasts clearly with the bright surface of silver. Thick, open bangle in smooth near-black with a rounded profile. A pointed pale plate with incised geometric lines caps the center, and matching pale tips with grooved bands finish both ends.

Heavy on the wrist, light on pretense.
