Visual Description :
This wrist bracelet is large and chunky with a floral curving design. The central feature of the bracelet is the large turquoise stone in the centre. The stone is irregularly shaped and is surrounded by looped pieces of cast metal (silver). And there is a leaf, with incisions, on the top and bottom ends of the turquoise stone. These cast pieces are held together by balls of metal. There are three bands on the bracelet two smooth straps on either side of a twisted one. The same leaf motif is on either side of the bands. And there is a snap fastener.
