THE CUFF:

No this isn't a huge statement size southwestern cuff that comes with a overpowering weight, but what this DOES have, is a cut of turquoise that should be on the top of any turquoise connoisseur's list ! If you are one who loves a more understated Native American made turquoise cuff & would prefer 'quality' over 'quantity', then this may be a great call!

This is made with a top notch-gem grade cut of Pilot Mountain turquoise that has THE most gorgeous color blue!!! Like many, I too am a huge fan of Pilot Mountain

for it's color & natural beauty!

The oval cut of turquoise is set atop of a skinny cuff that is stamped in it's entirety & has been left with oxidation deep in the crevices for a 'Chiaroscuro' sort of contrast. Traditional Navajo star conchos,beading & appliques are displayed on both the right & left of the stone.

The gauge is neither too too thick,nor is it weak & flimsy, but rather made with a gauge that allows this to be adjustable, that is, if you have to do adjust it at all.(It would be best if this fit you perfectly! :-) Adjusting it to fit properly is also something that a "Reputable" jeweler can do.
