Vintage Barse Turquoise Tooled Leather Cuff Bracelet Zuni Inspired c. 1990

Early Barse Vintage Turquoise Snake Eye Cuff Bracelet | Tooled Leather | Zuni Style Cluster | 1992 💙🌿 A beautifully bold piece from Barse’s early days, this vintage cuff bracelet was purchased in 1992 and features a silver-tone rectangular centerpiece set with 18 vibrant turquoise snake eye cabochons. The design is inspired by traditional Zuni cluster styles, with six rows of three round turquoise stones accented by petite bezels and delicate silver beadwork. A soft patina adds depth and vintage character. The centerpiece is mounted on a supple, tooled black leather band, stitched along the edges and finished with sturdy double snap closures (3/8" diameter) for an adjustable fit — 6" or 6 1/2". ✨ About Barse Jewelry (Established 1986): Founded in Dallas, Texas by Melanie Barse, the company is known for genuine stones and artisan craftsmanship. Cast pieces like this are made in their Thailand factory using the lost-wax casting method — a detail-driven, hand-finished technique not used in mass production. Barse works with non-tarnish sterling, bronze, and copper in their designs. This bracelet reflects that early Barse quality — combining Southwestern influence with sculptural metalwork and vivid stones. 📌 Details: Maker’s mark: Barse (engraved) Width: 1" Adjustable Length: 6" or 6 1/2" Cabochons: ~4mm (1/8") Weight: 20.3 grams 📦 Condition: Stones: Pristine turquoise cabochons Metalwork: No dents or deep scratches Leather: Excellent condition, soft and flexible
