Vintage Alpaca Silver Abalone Mother-Of-Pearl Inlay Cuff Bracelet Enamel Mexico
This is a vintage Mexican Alpaca silver-tone cuff bracelet featuring a distinctive mother of pearl and abalone shell floral inlay set against a black enamel backdrop.
Materials: Crafted from "Alpaca" silver (a durable alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc known for its bright, silver-like appearance) combined with natural shell panels and black jet enamel.
Design: The centerpiece showcases a stylized geometric flower design where the bright white petals are crafted from polished mother of pearl and the colorful, iridescent petals are made from abalone shell.
Origin: This specific style of folk art jewelry was highly popular and widely handcrafted in Mexico during the late 20th century (predominantly the 1970s and 1980s).
This vintage cuff bracelet features a stunning floral design crafted with abalone and mother-of-pearl inlay. The black enamel contrasts beautifully with the silver metal, giving it a timeless, elegant charm.
