Tuareg Silver and Wood Cuff

Narrow cuff topped with engraved geometry, perched on a stitched black drum.

This silver and wood cuff is Tuareg, from Mali, West Africa, and is contemporary. It is ebony & sterling silver. Ebony is a dense, dark hardwood that takes a high polish, and its deep color sets off the brightness of sterling silver. Slim open cuff with a dark curved band and a raised bright plate engraved with triangles, diagonals and small cross-hatches. It sits on a round black box with a stitched seam around the top edge.

All straight lines, and all of them carefully planned.
