THE CUFF:

Designed in an elegant “Wave” row style, this cuff features vertically laid, hand-picked marquise to elongated shaped cuts for a flowing, dynamic look. Known as a "Sampler" cuff for obvious reasons, the stones are sourced from various Nevada mines, and because each mine yields different tones—some producing bright, vibrant blues, others teal blues, soft greens and blue-greens, true turquoise colors and still others have black matrix, which give an extraordinary contrast throughout the cuff. The varied colors create a mosaic-like medley of colors that feel lively and organic. That is the charm of “Sampler” turquoise jewelry: you receive a little of this and a little of that, celebrating natural variety rather than rigid, matchy-matchy uniformity.

All the center-lined cuts come from “Larry Cooley’s Turquoise” collection — and since Larry never settled for low-grade or inferior turquoise, these stones are naturally untreated and authentic. That kind of quality is getting increasingly rare in todays market unless you’re prepared to pay premium prices.

The evenly matched round cuts along the north and south perimeters are actually Tibetan turquoise (NOT from Larry’s collection — but one of Federico’s favorites!). They range from pale blue to a deep teal, providing attractive contrast against the cuff. Each stone is bezel set atop a non-bendable, heavy-gauge sterling shank, making this cuff exceptionally durable and built to last.

SIZING:

Because of the heavy metal gauge and the overall design, this bracelet cannot be adjusted, so it is extremely important that you know your exact wrist measurement and the gap opening you need for a comfortable fit over the arm. This piece has a 1-1/4" gap opening, which is intended to suit a medium/average-sized wrist—particularly a wrist that is a bit more fleshy and therefore requires a slightly larger gap to slide on easily. If the gap is too small, the cuff will be difficult to put on; if the gap is too large, the bracelet will roll around the wrist and won’t remain stationary, and could even fall off onto the floor!
