******************
THE CUFF:
Hand chose for their ultra delicious green color Sonoran Gold turquoise that lay down the center of the cuff in a row style setting.. No,it's not an over the top cuff like many other southwestern cuffs, but the color of this turquoise speaks volume in color! The colors are intense & if you love those gorgeous greens as we do,you will love this one!
Hand melted beads of sterling are accented in between each stone as each lay atop of a fully tooled heavy 12 gauge sterling shank that's tooled throughout it's entirety. Al started working with 12 gauge sterling with his cuffs which give them a more durable feel. So for it's size,it has a nice hefty weight to it! Because of it's straight perimeter,makes this perfect for stacking!
******************
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 small to small medium sized wrist that would be fit for one that's on the small boned side. The gap is not that wide (1") so if your wrist is more 'fleshy',you may need a wider gap opening. Cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet & it is important they fit right!
**Artist, sterling cost, time, the stone's quality & the cost per carat for natural high quality turquoise are all reflected in price**
