TURQUOISE PROVENANCE:

All these cuts came from the late "LARRY COOLEY'S" turquoise collection, who was a turquoise vendor that sold to designers when they wanted to buy premium grade turquoise cuts for their designs. After Larry's passing, everyone wanted dibs on his whole incredible collection, but because of Federico's long time connection with Larry & Larry's family, he was fortunate to purchase this 'once in a lifetime' limited & very pricy collection(These reasons are reflected in price) So once these stones are used up, they're gone! (See my extraordinary listings that are made with Cooleys turquoise, by clicking on his name in many categories!)

THE BRACELET:

Exquisitely designed with a highly sophisticated look, this beauty has a color that jumps out & literally pulls you in! The unimaginable-staggering color is from none other than the Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine itself, that produced some of the most bluest of blue turquoise & happens to be a top choice for artists when they don't want color variation & want a more uniform color throughout. This mine in not only unique for it's vibrant-over the top color, but unique for the fact that it lacks the 'matrix' character that other mines produce.. Because of this matrix omission, many think that it's "fake", which is far from the truth! This is literally the color when it comes out of the mine and is all cut & polished!! The mine closed sometime back, which only made it increase in price.

Made with perfectly matched oval cuts that are laid in a 9 panel form with 5 cuts per panel that lay vertically which then dictate it's generous 45 stone layout. Each stone lays low in a high sterling bezel.There was a hefty amount of sterling used , so this is no light weight-cheap feeling bracelet!

The closure is unique & if you zoom in on photos 8 ,9,10 you will see that when you push down on the stone, it opens. When closed, it becomes apart of the design(Which is one of the 9 panels) When you're closing it,you should always hear a 'click'.(Means it's locked) I always recommend buyers to have a safety chain added by their jeweler for extra security, where on one end they would add something like a lobster clasp put on, so you can easily attach & unattached .

****I do want to mention that link bracelets are not meant to fit tightly against the wrist,but rather should have a little movement. As is, this is made for a medium to larger sized wrist & should accommodate a wrist that's somewhere around a 6-1/2" to 7-1/4" wrist.. Remember, the smaller you are, the more it will fall toward the top of the hand, if bigger, then it would sit closer to the wrist.. However, if your wrist is smaller, this can be brought down to a shorter length by way of your jeweler.. They would disconnect the jump rings that hold each panel together & remove one of the middle panels. (Panels measure 3/4" wide each) If you go this route, you can always have something made with the remaining****
