Kurteff Bariloche Copper Cuff Bracelet

I absolutely love this bracelet and it seems to be very rare.  I could not find any jewelry quite like it listed online, but I did figure out where it was made, and by whom.  Jorge Kurteff, a Bulgarian artist, arrived in Argentina after World War II, and began creating pieces in copper, iron, bronze, and nickel silver.  Bariloche is actually a city in Argentina.  The Kurteff Museum, located in the province of San Luis in Argentina, houses a full collection of 90 metal sculptures by Jorge Kurteff.  I am still continuing to enthusiastically research this piece.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.etsy.com/ is coming soon.
