Presented here is an absolutely stunning cuff bracelet from Frank Patania Sr.’s Thunderbird Shop circa 1950, as evidenced by the FP hallmark sans the oval. The provenance of this piece is impeccable: it has not been offered to the market in over 50 years. Accented with 3 natural turquoise stones surrounded by fine sawtooth bezels, the cuff plays its fascinating, intricate textural ground against bold discs and bordering bands. Comfortable and understated enough for everyday wear, this can lend sophisticated polish to evening ensembles as well.
