Chinese Silver Bracelet

A smooth black ring with a woven metal clasp stitched across its front.

This silver bracelet with water reed pattern is by Water Reed, from China. Reed and water plant patterns recur in Chinese decorative arts, where plants are commonly chosen for the qualities and wishes they are taken to represent. A rounded oval bangle in glossy black-brown with subtle mottling along the sides. A small braided plait of bright metal strands wraps over a join at the front, and the surface is smooth with minor dull patches. It is 0.5 inches deep and 3 in diameter.

A sleek curve with a neat little bandage.
