Meiji Period Antique Japanese Shakudo Sterling Mixed Metal  Kashira Link Bracelet Shakudo is the use of mixed metal alloys and was  originally used in Japanese armor and swords.  Artisans would sometimes remove the Shakudo plaques  and fittings from the armor and incorporate it into jewelry  or art. It has become very collectible and quite unusual. The oval links have been created by using various mixed metals  and accented with gold. The shakudo  kashira links that you see  would have originally been set at the end of a samurai sword h andle as  a cap  on the end  of the tsuka (handle).  The fittings are  now set  into  well made pieces of sterling silver and  then equipped  with rings on either side. Stamped "silver" on the hidden clasp box it tests solid  as sterling. The largest link measures 37 mm long X 17 mm wide and the bracelet measures 8" long. This bracelet has a ring extension that can be adjusted down up to 1/2" shorter. I have not polished the sterling so you will find a warm patina mostly to the back. I am also listing another link bracelet and ring.
