Antique Rajasthan Heavy Silver Bracelet 8 Inch 62 Grams

Description

This is a listing for a vintage to antique bracelet hand wrought in Rajasthan India and hallmarked RA.  It could possibly be as new as mid century...so 7 decades old, but is most likely older in age.  Has a wonderful very warm aged patina.  These pieces were at least 800 coin silver and often sterling.  Frequently not stamped for silver content, this tested as high grade silver.
It is 8 inches in length and weighs an impressive 62 grams.  It's body is formed from 2 separate chains held together with decorative collars and measures just over 3/8th of an inch thick, not including the clasp.  The clasp flares out and measures just over 1 and 1/8th inches wide when closed.  It closes with a pin that holds the bracelet together securely when inserted. This is a common clasp with antique sterling jewelry, especially in ethnic pieces.
Silversmiths from Rajasthan, especially with these very old and antique pieces, were recognized around the world for their masterful jewelry.  This piece is very flexible, especially considering it's thickness, allowing you to coil it several times.  The pattern is known as a wheat pattern and sometimes as a snake pattern.  Elegant when warn as a simple streamlined accent and a real statement piece when layered.  It will arrive by Priority mail with insurance.  Thank you for looking.
