FIRM ON PRICE-SORRY BUT NO DISCOUNTS APPLY TO THIS ITEM

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

When Navajo Tsosie(Orville) White stepped out to go to work over 30 some years ago,it wasn't to make jewelry, but rather as a carpenter & a mechanic.. But thanks to Tsosie’s wife, since it was actually she, who influenced the younger Tsosie and was the contributing factor that turned him around to where & who he is today..He has done nothing but make a reputable name for himself in the industry and no matter what he makes, Tsosie's work will always have that traditional Navajo charm, with impeccable workmanship that validate all those years he has now put in.

His eye for form & balance between stone & metal is precise and will show all the time AND love he pours into each & every piece he makes, no matter how small or how big!!

THE CUFF:

Dominating the spotlight, is some of THE prettiest Royston blue turquoise you’ll lay your eyes on! And whether you know quality in turquoise when you see it or if you don’t know, you’ll be able to look at these & know they stand apart from the more less expensive, lower quality cuts of turquoise that are out there! It doesn’t take skill to know these are some PREMIUM stones!

Made in a row cuff style, these stones were hand picked for their color & quality. The 5 cuts lay atop of a traditional Navajo made 3/4” width shank & in between each cut, Tsosie made all the small appliques that spice up the design a bit. The shank is hand tooled & is left with an oxidized finishing in order to accentuate the stamp work.

Because of the straight perimeter, you can either wear this alone or stack it in between other cuffs for more statement. It will look as handsome on a mans wrist, as it look as beautiful on a women’s!

WRIST SIZE:

This is made for a large sized 7" wrist, but because it has a 1-1/8" gap opening, this is meant for a wide wrist, but for a wrist that is not so fleshy/meaty. Because of the gauge of sterling that Tsosie used, the shank is right on the brink of being able to adjust it somewhat. So if you know how to adjust a cuff (without popping stones) & feel confident enough to open the gap up a bit more, this can be done. If you don't know how to do this, then I would take it to a reputable jeweler. But just know,by opening up the gap so it can then go over the arm, is the only thing that can adjust... It does NOT change the 5-7/8" interior.

Cuff's are one of the only bracelets that HAVE to fit properly, so it's of extreme importance that you know your wrist size & what gap opening you need for it to go over your arm comfortably, before purchasing. If you're unsure, please click: How To Fit A Cuff" .And while there, be sure to copy/paste the You Tube link, which shows you the “Proper” way to put a cuff on! I am an email away, so don't hesitate in getting in touch with me if you need!.

PRICING IS BASED ON: You are paying for the name of the Artist & his reputation, the sterling cost at time of purchase, the artist’s time, the turquoise quality, the cost per carat for this type of quality and the amount of carats , which are all reflected in price.
