A large and magnificent gem grade natural oxblood Mediterranean coral was selected for this incredible bracelet by master ingot jeweler Harry H. Begay. Coral of this size is seldom encountered on today's market, especially when it is this quality and hue. Harry has complimented the cabochon to perfection. The specimen is set in an intricate hand chiseled bezel surrounded in twist wire. Long and elegant flairs are overlaid on each side above large buttons, stars and scallops. The outer edges are deeply stamped and oxidized. Heavy hand rolled and hammered ingot silverwork is an art mastered by few silversmiths in the modern world. Harry is acknowledged as one of the greatest silversmiths of his time. His contribution is to revive this historical style of silverwork. The process essentially means creating the piece from scratch using coin or ingot sterling silver. Harry has not only perfected this but has innovated by doing so with the heaviest gauge possible.
