LEO FEENEY Southwest Dainty Style Multi Colored Stone 925 Cluster Cuff
LEO FEENEY Southwest Dainty Style Multi Colored Stone 925 Cluster Cuff
Incorporating stones known to southwest jewelry & then putting some 'bling' into the design,Leo used various cuts of colored stones to make this very appealing, smaller cuff.
The turquoise is from the the Arizona Sleeping Beauty mine & when it closed a few years back,it did nothing but go up in value..It is a mine that gives us a color,unlike no other USA mine..It is vibrant & as blue as can be & can look fake to some,since it lacks matrix,which is what we are use to seeing in turquoise.But it is anything but! The coral is of gem quality & this quality too, now has skyrocketed & is no longer able to be fished.The green stone is "natural" Gaspeite & not the fake stuff that people call Gaspeite,because it's lime green.Added sparkle is given by placing faceted citrine in the design.
The stones are all serrated bezel set atop of a daintier size sterling shank that has been given some stamp work along the sterling.The sterling is neither thick,nor thing,which allows it to be adjustable,if done right. It has a nice weight for it's size & perfect alone or stacked with others!
