Made in the 1970's,Navajo Frank Sandoval chose Kingman Turquoise,which seemed to be the turquoise of choice when this was made.Even though all the stones have a overall oval look to them,some have a rounded cut.The stones were not calibrated by machine,but rather by cut by hand.The stones still have a polished look to them & sit in their scalloped hand made bezels.

This is a heavier cuff,that has a diagonal lay out..The cuff gives you the illusion,as if the turquoise is sitting high,when actually they sit low on their own sheet of sterling & when the thick,sterling high domed wires are laid between each section,it actually makes them sit lower,as if they are 'caged' in there..

The three 1/2 round wire shank spread accommodates the height of the cuff.Warm patina gives this a luscious appearance & the bright,mouthwatering blue turquoise,seems to only be enhanced up against it.The shank has maintained it's shape & is in the same way as if new.
