SIMPLISTIC BEAUTY
Jones Quam is known for his gorgeous animal motif silver work which is evident in this mesmerizing ‘70s-era vintage Zuni concho bolo. The large sterling silver bolo is accented with a beautiful blue jay of inlay turquoise, mother of pearl, jet, and coral stones. Finishing the design are two leaf appliques for a simple look. On the back is a tension clamp that keeps it in place on the traditional black leather braided cord. Sterling silver aiguillettes are placed on the tips of the chord for the final touch. Simple and versatile, wear this bolo for any occasion.
