This hefty, graduated row bracelet features stunning examples of the three color phases of spiny oyster: orange, purple and red. The large center oval ranges from light orange to deep burnt-orange, while the purple spiny oyster is reminiscent of Welch's grape juice and the red spiny oyster displays a richness and depth of color seldom seen in this shell. To accent the interplay of colors, interspersed between the large ovals are smaller rounds of orange and purple spiny oyster as well as rounds of Mediterranean red coral and Sleeping Beauty turquoise. Heavy, studded starred buttons complement this colorful grouping of shell, coral and stone and large, impeccably detailed, stamped appliquées frame the row. Interlocking, mirror-image stampwork of thunderheads form deeply-stamped bands next to rows of arrows in flight, while minutely detailed stamps highlight the sculpted edges of the cuff. Note that the stamped pattern marking the equatorial center of the cuff is almost wholly obscured (seen only in the final photo picturing the terminals and gap). But like all traditionally-made stampwork, each of these designs and motifs is fully stamped on the whole cuff, regardless of the fact that much of it is completely hidden by the large spiny oyster settings and the appliquées. This one won't come around again....
