BOLD STYLE FOR ANYONE
The purpose of the ketoh has evolved over the years from being a piece of protection to becoming a piece of gorgeous jewelry. This piece crafted by Thomas O’Dell DeWitt is full of exciting details that will grasp your attention with just one look. The brown leather cuff is a great simple base for the thick stamped sterling silver plate that features a large center turquoise stone accented with sterling silver starburst drops and repousse bump outs. The stone is set in a simple bezel with a bright blue hue. Each detail forms a piece of jewelry that will have all eyes on you each time you slide it on.
