Striking vintage open cuff bracelet marked “ALPACCA FINA.” Features what appears to be silverware reworked into a sculptural, asymmetrical scrollwork design with one large turquoise colored cabochon and a smaller coordinating round stone.
“Alpacca Fina” typically refers to alpaca or nickel silver, a silver-tone alloy traditionally composed of copper, nickel and zinc. Cuff does not have any other markings.
This is a bold, one-of-a-kind statement piece with a Southwestern, Mexican artisan and bohemian look. The large stone has beautiful blue, turquoise, brown and metallic-looking matrix variations that make every angle unique.
