SLEEPING BEAUTY TURQUOISE:

Made with THE most drop dead gorgeous blue that only the now closed, Sleeping Beauty mine can produce..The mine has now been closed for roughly 5 years & since closing ,has only made that many more buyers thirsty for anything that is made with it. Unfortunately the higher qualities are now scarce & many of the lower qualities are too soft & chalky, that they need stabilization in order to give it some hardness so it can be cut.

THE CUFF:

The cuff is designed in a skinny row style that's made with 20 evenly sized square 'tile' cuts that follow the full entirety of the 3/8" width shank. One of the main things you should know & definitely deserves appreciation, is for the workmanship that was spent making it.

This was made where all of the 20 stones, were literally cut and shaped one by one from the larger rock of turquoise & then cut into small squares.. Yes, it would be fast & simple to take the easy route out & buy 'pre-cut'- industry purchased' cuts from a stone vendor, but that actually takes away the beauty of it having it's "Artisan-Hand Made" factor. With this cuff, the lapidarian's time was well spent making sure each stone is mathematically the same size, has the same beveling,etc.,which gives it, it's uniform appeal.

Because of the design, this cannot be adjusted, so it's of extreme importance that you know your wrist size and what gap opening you need for it to comfortably fit over the arm. It is made for a small/skinny wrist size, but a wrist that is not 'fleshy' & doesn't need a larger gap opening. This has a small gap opening (3/4") so it's meant to fit a somewhat skinnier wrist & which also helps it from turning on the arm, only to find it falls off & is now on the floor! . If you are unsure of your wrist size,I suggest you click this link: "How To Fit A Cuff " and also I suggest you copy/paste the YouTube link I have there, that shows the right way, you should put a cuff on! If you are not sure of your size, please go over this before purchasing & or contact me.

** Perfect for stacking! We also carry this same style cuff in turquoise(Blue and green) Spiny Oyster, Lapis ——We also have the matching Sleeping Beauty turquoise earrings,(Under “Earrings 4”) rings & a necklace with these same cuts & are in their appropriate categories
