- Description
- This is the “Elemental bracelet” designed and created by jeweler Art Smith. The sterling silver bracelet is comprised of two wires, one for the bracelet and one for the pendant. The wire for the bracelet is curved to create a cuff outline with rounded ends tapered to be wider, preventing the pendant from falling off. The second wire is the pendant, soldered to be a movable circle placed around the main cuff. The bracelet has one hallmark on the inside edge of the cuff, Smith’s signature [Art Smith].
