A stylish, continental silver curb link bracelet decorated with a pod-shaped drop, made using the repoussé technique. Repoussé or repoussage was a technique used in metal work to decorate the surface of an object. The word repoussé originates from the French verb repousser, which means to push back or away. The technique involved the use of hammers, punches and other small tools on the back or reverse of an object to create a design in relief on the front or obverse of an object. Using this technique, the silversmith was able to produce the exquisitely detailed foliate designs on pod of this bracelet.
