This Trujillo/Valentin lapis channel inlay bracelet is one of the best inlay pieces I’ve ever acquired. The piece is double hallmarked. The lapis stones are in excellent condition and all original to the piece–a fair amount of silver matrix is contained in some of the stones and the lapis color varies slightly. Please note the intricacy of the channel work–the channels are less than 1/16″ wide and every stone (103 stones) is perfectly set within it’s channel–no use of filler anywhere. When you look at the front of the bracelet, the channels on the left side lean ever so slightly to the right–but it takes a keen eye to notice it–I think it adds to the bracelet’s handmade nature. It’s a big bracelet measuring 6 1/8″ inside plus a 1 3/8″ gap and 3/4″ wide all the way around. It’s 3/16″ thick and weighs 83 grams. Excellent condition. This bracelet is not adjustable for size.
