Indonesian Cuff, Ostrich with Sterling Silver

Dark brown ribbed cuff with a scaled bright plate at its center.

This sterling silver ostrich cuff is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. Ostrich skin has a distinctive pattern of raised follicle dots, which jewelers often imitate in metal as a textured surface. Open band wrapped in overlapping reddish-brown strips, forming thick segmented ridges. A small bright plate with a bumpy texture and three vertical lobes sits at the center. The inside of the band is plain and bright.

Shy brown outside, shiny little secret on top.
