Offered is a signed vintage cuff bracelet designed by Roderick Tenorio and manufactured by Relios, Inc., executed in sterling silver with applied 14K gold accent details. Roderick Tenorio is known for work that draws strongly from Southwestern and Native American design traditions, incorporating organic forms, sculptural movement, and mixed-metal contrasts that reflect both cultural influence and contemporary studio craftsmanship.
The bracelet displays a fluid central twist motif characteristic of Tenorio’s design language, with subtle 14K gold elements highlighting the flowing silver form. The interior of the cuff bears four distinct markings: the Relios logo, “925” indicating sterling silver content, “14K” confirming the gold accents, and “RMT,” the hallmark of the designer. These markings collectively document the designer, manufacturer, and material composition of the piece.
The open cuff construction allows for comfortable wear and minor adjustment. Surface patina and light wear are present, consistent with age and normal estate use, with no evidence of structural damage or repair. The bracelet weighs 16.21 grams, giving it a substantial feel while remaining balanced on the wrist.
This piece represents a collectible example of late 20th-century American designer jewelry, combining Southwestern and Native American aesthetic influence with the high-quality mixed-metal production for which Relios, Inc. is known.
