Silver and turquoise bracelet

This beautiful Turquoise and Sterling bracelet is made with parts of a vintage Native American Hat band and vintage Brighton chain belt. The 5/8" wide connector is made of stamped Sterling Silver with a small green turquoise stone nestled in the center. The vintage rolo chain is silver plate that has been soldered and will fit up to a 7 3/4" wrist. I have included a picture of the hat band as it looked when I bought it. Brighton's jewelry and other silver accessories, are cast in solid brass or zinc, and then dipped in pure silver. Since silver has a natural tendency to tarnish (oxidize) and scratch, Brighton has added a protective layer of lacquer. One thing good about having a lacquer coating is that it never tarnishes and it makes it very resistant to scratches. ✨✨✨CARE INSTRUCTIONS: To keep your jewelry shiny and beautiful, please avoid harsh detergents, Swimming pool, seawater and perfume & lotion. Please bear in mind that this is sterling may occasionally need to be buffed with a soft cloth to keep its shine. Keeping it stored in a cloth bag to keep from tarnishing.
