Appliqué is traditional Native American jewelry style in which a design is cut out of silver and soldered to a base of silver. It was one of the first distinct styles that developed in the decades before World War II, and was a precursor to the overlay style of today. Both the appliqué and overlay techniques create highly dimensional and detailed jewelry that represents the remarkable craftsmanship of Native American silversmiths.

Bolo measures 2-3/8" long and 1-3/8" wide with sterling silver tipped braided leather cord 34" in length. Comes with certificate of authenticity.
