On this piece
Turquoise is never just one color, and this cuff is built to prove it. A true tour de force of the stone, it gathers turquoise in a full range from green to blue — sourced from many different mines, each with its own signature hue and matrix — and sets them together across a sterling band, accented with garnet, amethyst, and onyx for depth. To a collector of Southwestern work, the variety is the point: it’s a small survey of what the earth does with copper and aluminum and time, all on one wrist. The piece is one of a kind, handcrafted, signed sterling inside the cuff, in excellent condition at a size 6.5. There’s a reason turquoise has been treasured across the Americas for a thousand years; here it’s shown in its full spectrum by an artisan who clearly loved the stone. Wearable, and quietly educational.
