Mokume Gane American Studio Cuff Bracelet Natural Ruby Cabochons by Maker SW (64 grams)

$1,150.00
A finely crafted vintage mokume gane cuff bracelet by SW, dating to the late 20th century. This custom studio piece showcases the distinctive woodgrain patterning that defines mokume gane, created through the careful lamination and manipulation of mixed metals. The surface presents a richly layered organic motif with flowing lines and subtle contrast, a hallmark of traditional mokume technique. Set along the top are three ruby cabochons. The stones display a deep red hue with pleasing translucency, offering a striking visual contrast against the patterned metal ground. The central ruby is larger, flanked by two smaller stones, creating a balanced and intentional design. The cuff form is gently curved for a comfortable fit and remains in excellent vintage condition, with no notable damage observed. This is a substantial and well-executed studio piece, reflecting the craftsmanship and aesthetic associated with a high end small output mokume gane shop. An uncommon example of American studio jewelry, combining traditional Japanese metalworking techniques with modern design sensibilities. Suitable for collectors of artisan jewelry or those seeking a distinctive piece. Seek the advice of your jeweler before attempting to adjust this cuff. Material: Mokume gane (mixed metal laminate over sterling silver) Stones: Ruby cabochons Inner circumference (including gap): 8.25" Gap: 1.25" Width: 0.75" Weight: 64 grams Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light expected surface wear consistent with age.
