******************
THE TURQUOISE:
The colors that are coming out of this northern Mexican mine, are truly captivating, with Sonoran turquoise being one of the most in demand turquoise that's hit our US lands in fairly recent years. Similar to our Nevada mines, this mine produces some of the most intense mouthwatering greens, various tones of blues & cuts with both green & blue. It offers a wide variety of matrix colored patterns, as well as many cuts having silver pyrite in them..
******************
THE CUFF:
Spanning to the curvature of the cuff, are 7 single-graduating in size, cuts of Sonoran Mountain turquoise that are mixed with both blues & greens. The deeper greens are saturated & intense, while the blues go from a pastel color to a medium blue .

Hand made little conchos are accented around the center stone & sterling beads are then accented between each of the other stones. The cuff has a corrugated feel & is tooled throughout it's entirety.

Because men love a more simple statement, makes this a good call without looking 'over the top' in size, while showing beautifully on the wrist! !
This is the sort of cuff that would look great on it's own,but if one want's more statement, this can be stacked with other cuffs based it's straight perimeter.
******************
THE FINISHING:
Emulating a look as if aged,the sterling is finished in a oxidized-"Vintage Revival" finishing where the oxidation lays deep in the crevices, only to bring contrast to the shank. This finishing gives it more of a 'Chiaroscuro' sort of look.
*******************
WRIST SIZE:
This is made for a large sized wrist that's made for man or woman. Not only does this have a larger interior measurement, but has a wider gap (1-1/4") which will accommodate a 'fleshier', wrist size. Cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet & it is important they fit right! To learn more about cuff fitting, please click: How To Fit A Cuff below)
