FEDERICO JIMENEZ-Excellent Lapidary!- Channel Flush Inlaid Kingman with Golden Matrix OR Carico Lake Turquoise-Sterling Bangle-For Tiny Small Boned Hand /Wrists!
SALE FOR ONE BANGLE-MADE FOR HARD TO FIND SMALL BONED-TINY HANDS/WRISTS!
CHOOSE BETWEEN A BEAUTIFUL BLUE COLORED KINGMAN OR MINT GREEN CARICO LAKE TURQUOISE!
To make these, takes an extraordinary & skilled lapidarian/metalsmith. Similar to the inlay work of the Zuni Puebloan people, each one of these miniature square cuts are precisely cut by hand & follow the curvature of the bangle & are cut to fit in between the slivers of silver to create a channel of stone..The are flush inlaid, meaning the stones do not sit above the base, but rather sit flush with the height of the bangle.. This is a time consuming technique that takes serious skill, since the stones have to be cut so perfect in size & a millimeter or 2 off, would not give the bangle the perfectly crafted look they have.
These come in 2 different colors of turquoise,from 2 different states & so therefor 2 different mines. The Carico Lake turquoise is from Nevada & has a soft buttery mint green color with no matrix, while the Arizona Kingman turquoise one has a medium level of saturation & has a unique matrix color of bright golden yellows to golden browns. The lapidary work is outstanding & the lapidarian gave each cut a wonderful professional high polished finished look.
**These are made to fit a 'hard to find' small/petite boned-tiny size hand/wrist.It's not as much the wrist size as it is being small boned. Bangles are measured different than other style bracelets & have to go over the widest part of the hand to fit, which would be where the upper thumb bone is & then across.* I have a tiny,tiny wrist (About 4-3/4") & when I put this on, it's a tad snug as it reaches the knuckles (Especially above the pointer finger) and thumb bone area, but still goes on with ease.
IMPORTANT:
What I suggest is, if you have bangle on hand that fits you well, you want to measure it by laying it flat on top of a paper measuring tape & starting on say the 1" line, you will then see where it measures from & to (east to west) The 'interior' part is what you want to pay attention to, not the outer most part. Then compare it to my **'Interior across measurement'**.(See photo 12)
*If you are bigger boned & have a larger wrist,I do have 2 more in this same listing that have turquoise from these same mines that are made bigger! (See last 3 photos
