A stunning, original cuff bracelet from the Qing dynasty (China's final imperial dynasty, lasting from 1644 to 1912). Dating from approximately 1900, this unique cuff bracelet features 95 completely natural and untreated round turquoise cabochons measuring an average of 6.5mm in diameter. The turquoise stones are no longer vivid blue; instead, they are in muted tones of pale blue, green, and beige. The stones have dents and signs of wear, as one would expect from a bracelet of this age that has clearly been worn and loved. There is milgrain detailing and twisted wire around each of the raised bezel settings holding the turquoise stones and additional wirework on the clasp.
