Indian Om Mane Padme Hum Cuff

Picture a polished open cuff carries raised golden lettering framed by beaded borders and tiny rosettes.

This Om Mane Padme Hum cuff is from India. It is sterling silver & gold. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver with a small share of copper, which makes the soft metal stronger and better suited to wearable forms. Seen head on, a pale, bright cuff with a wide band shows large raised golden characters on a darkened ground. Twisted rope and beaded rims frame the lettering, and small flower-like knobs sit at each side near the open ends.

Says plenty in gold, and does it with a gleam.
