Indian Om Mane Padme Hum Cuff

Raised gold characters march across a dark band on this open bangle.

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. Clearly, a wide open-ended cuff with a beaded border at the top and bottom and a row of raised golden letters at the front. A small rosette sits at each end of the band, and the polished surface has a soft shine.

Decorated with a steady hand and some lovely details.
