Jesse Monongye Inlay Silver Bracelet

This is an early Jesse. It was probably made in the
late 1970's or early 1980's.

The bracelet is in excellent, like new condition... there are a few
very light (barely visible) hairline scratches in the silver....
the bracelet is essentially like new

Inlaid are Malachite, Coral, Turquoise and Mother of Pearl

1 1/2" wide

for a 6 1/4" wrist

$10,550

I just noticed a small dot, inlaid in Coral below a 2nd Jesse hallmark
on the inside of the bracelet.

It reminded me of an old tradition... in which a silversmith would put a small hole like this
by the hallmark of his best work. Some people say the reason for this is because the artist
felt his spirit was approaching God and he offered this imperfection as tribute.
Other people say the dot is where the artist became part of the bracelet.
