Ketoh, Stamped, Turquoise, Vintage, 3381
EXTRAVAGANTLY EXCITING
The purpose of the ketoh has evolved over the years from being a piece of protection to becoming a piece of gorgeous jewelry and this piece is full of exciting details. The brown leather cuff is a great simple base for the thick sterling silver plate that features a stamped design, drop details, and the main attraction, rows of beautiful turquoise stones and one large center stone. Each of them is set in serrated bezels and has a bright blue hue. Each detail comes together forming a piece of jewelry that will have all eyes on you each time you slide it on.
