Antique Nepali Silver Turquoise & Coral Cuff Bracelet – Intricate Filigree Work (22 g)

$65.00
A beautifully made Nepali silver cuff bracelet, centered by an oval turquoise cabochon surrounded by six small round coral cabochons, with an additional pair of small round turquoise cabochons flanking the central stone. The stones are set into an intricately worked silver mount, while the sides of the cuff are inset with exceptionally fine and detailed old filigree work, giving the bracelet a remarkable amount of visual complexity for its diminutive size. The bracelet is unmarked, as is common with traditional Himalayan jewelry, and has the handmade character expected of an older piece. The silver is slightly flexible, allowing the cuff to accommodate the wrist, and the open construction measures approximately 6½ inches across the interior including the ¾-inch opening. The band itself is approximately ½ inch wide. At just 22 grams, it is an unusually light and wearable example of this type, rather than one of the massive ceremonial cuffs sometimes encountered. Turquoise and coral are among the most characteristic materials encountered in Tibetan and Himalayan jewelry, frequently combined with elaborate silver settings and handwork. The quality of the small-scale filigree here is particularly appealing, with the intricate wirework inset into the sides rather than simply stamped or cast. Origin: Nepal / Himalayan region Date: Early to mid-20th century, possibly earlier Material: Silver Stones: Turquoise and coral cabochons Marks: Unmarked Weight: 22 grams Interior measurement: Approximately 6½ inches including ¾-inch opening Band width: Approximately ½ inch Construction: Slightly flexible open cuff Condition: Very good antique condition, with age-appropriate surface wear. A particularly charming example of traditional Tibetan jewelry, distinguished by its unusual combination of turquoise and coral and, especially, the remarkably intricate old filigree work incorporated into the sides. Price is firm.
