Bracelet: Tribal Silver Cuff Bracelet

A full chrysanthemum blooms across the front, pinned in place by two posts.

This tribal silver cuff bracelet is a hinged silver band built in layers. Wide silver cuffs with applied ornament are a long tradition in tribal jewelry across South Asia, often worn as a sign of status and family wealth. The cuff is ribbed with three smooth bands separated by panels of pierced dotted lattice and fine beaded wire. A large many-petaled rosette is mounted at the front. Two vertical posts with small flower terminals frame it on either side, and a hinge sits at the back.

Built heavy and meant to be noticed.
