EMPOWERING BEAUTY

This bold vintage bolo, crafted by Gilbert Brown, features a beautiful slide in the likeness of an Antelope Kachina crafted in intricate inlay using stones of black onyx, turquoise, coral, abalone, and mother of pearl. The stonework is complemented by sterling silver twist rope and drops adding detail and dimension. The cord is a classic black braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes and matching inlay stone dangles. It’s an eye-catching piece on anyone -- guy or gal!
