Item:126393847383Meiji Period Antique Japanese Shakudo Sterling Mixed Metal Kashira Link Bracelet. 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.
