This lovely vintage bolo was created by renowned Kewa artisan Augustine Largo, a jeweler who has been designing and crafting Native American jewelry for more than 40 years. The bolo features a sterling silver square concho slide with detailed stamp work surrounding a smooth oval cabochon in a robin’s egg turquoise with black matrixing, set in a simple bezel. The cord is a braided leather, tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes.
