Vintage Silver Dutch Colonial Indonesia Cuff Bracelet
Vintage Silver Dutch Colonial Indonesia Cuff Bracelet
This vintage Dutch Colonial Indonesia cuff bracelet showcases exquisite silver craftsmanship from the 1930s or 40s, during a period of resurgence in local silversmithing. The design is elegant and minimalistic, wrapping gracefully around the wrist. It is clearly marked "TOM 800" and "Jogja Silver," and has been verified as genuine silver. Made by a skilled silversmith in Yogya (Jogja), this piece reflects traditional Indonesian techniques that catered to European tastes during Dutch rule and continued even after independence in the 1960s. As this bracelet was made for European and American markets, few remain in Indonesia today.
The inner circumference is 13 cm (5 1/8") plus a 2.5 cm gap (1"). The inner diameter is 5.5 cm (2 1/8"), but it is adjustable. The weight is 19.1 g.
