Indonesian Silver Shrimp Bracelet

Segmented bangle that curls like a bright, jointed shrimp.

This shrimp bracelet is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. It is sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5 percent silver with other metals, usually copper, which makes it harder and more durable than pure silver. Bangle formed of overlapping, polished plates that taper along the front into a woven, herringbone-patterned band. Small raised bumps sit on each plate. The surface is glossy and bright with a mirror sheen.

Armored in front and soft where it counts.
