Bolo, Cluster, Turquoise, Unusual Repousse & Stampwork, Mark, Old Pawn, 1984

TRULY A WORK OF ART

Things really do only get better with age. This vintage pawn bolo has a large cluster of needlepoint and snake eye turquoise stones, sterling silver twist rope, drops, stamp work, half moons, and unusual repousse bump outs. It is placed on a black braided bolo cord with sterling silver aiguillettes that match the bolo itself. A masterpiece like this should be worn as much as possible to show off its true beauty.
