Whimsical Taxco Cactus Sterling Clamper Bracelet

This Mexican sterling silver clamper bracelet has a whimsical cactus motif. Repoussé silver work gives the cactus's barrel, arms, and fruit a three-dimensional quality. The back of the piece is hinged, allowing it to clamp easily around the wrist. The fun bracelet's interior is marked "925 TH-01 Mexico," indicating it was made in Taxco, Mexico. Circa 1970.

The city of Taxco is an important center for Mexican silver jewelry design. During the 1940s, Taxco drew jewelry artists from all over the world. The main attraction for the designers and studio jewelers was the abundant supply of locally mined materials such as silver and semi-precious gems.

Details.....The bracelet's front measures 4.18" wide, the back is 1.25" wide, and it measures 2.5" across. The approximate interior circumference is 7.5". In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should expect some wear on all vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of their charm.
