Cuff, Row, Turquoise, Snake Eye, Vintage, Old Pawn ‘20s, 3246

A TIMELESS TURQUOISE TREASURE

This remarkable work of art is an early Old Pawn piece dating back nearly a century to the 1920s. The stunning statement piece features five rows of tiny turquoise snake eye stones set in tiny serrated bezels fixed on sterling silver split bar bands that taper and join at the back. The bars are accented by sterling silver drop details. It’s a strong, substantial statement piece.
