Elements
I purchased this unique cuff from one of my contacts in France many years ago; it is a mysterious and artistic piece with multiple engravings, textures and dimensions. It has an eight pointed star in the center with engraved borders and designs throughout....the tops and sides are a hammered finish and it is in excellent condition. Any spots or other marks are just reflections form the many dimensional surfaces of the cuff. There are what appear to be sterling punches in 3 places.
The eight pointed star has multi cultural and biblical symbolism. In the bible, it symbolizes the restitution of the original harmony between God and humanity brought about by the incarnation of God through Mother Mary and the redemption of our Souls. The number eight symbolizes salvation and its meaning is derived from Gen 6,18: eight people escaped the deluge finding salvation in the ark (see also 1 Peter 3.20).
