Description | Hammered band bracelet with raised outer edges; 5 elongated turquoise stones and 1 piece of stem coral are positioned end to end in single plain bezel against oxidized background, producing shadow box-like effect; "Sterling" and "Loloma" signature hallmark are stamped on reverse; The fact that the cut stones do not fit together very well suggests this bracelet was likely one of Loloma's early attempts at lapidary work. | |
