Vintage Southwestern Copper, Brass & Abalone Wolf Cuff Bracelet 1990s - Artisan Jewelry
This vintage Southwestern‑style cuff bracelet features a stylized wolf or coyote motif crafted in mixed metals — warm copper, golden brass, and an inlaid panel of iridescent mother of pearl, likely abalone. The surface shows a rich dark red‑brown patina with natural iridescent flashes, exactly as it developed over time; it has not been polished or altered.
The bracelet dates to the 1990s, it was never worn. It remains in excellent vintage condition, with clean edges, a smooth interior, and no damage to the inlay. The cuff is unsigned, which is typical for many artisan and small‑studio Southwestern pieces from this era.
