Native Artisan-ALBERT JAKE-Exceptional-Top Notch Quality-Premium Grade - Green Royston Turquoise Sterling Row Cuff-For Larger 6-7/8" Wrist
ABOUT THE PREMIUM ROYSTON TURQUOISE:
Used for this cuff is a carefully selected sampling of some of Royston’s most beautiful green turquoise! But it’s not just the phenomenal green tones that take center stage in this cuff; but equally important, is the outstanding quality of each individual stone. It's not every day that we come across turquoise this sweet and personally speaking, there is nothing more exciting to see in southwestern turquoise jewelry, than jewelry being made with some of America’s finest turquoise!
With so much low-grade, soft turquoise flooding the market today—often needing stabilization (treated) to even be cut—Albert takes great pride in using only the finest materials, reflecting the era when turquoise quality was held as highly as the workmanship itself.
One subtle yet remarkable feature that photos fail to capture is the ‘glassy, glossy, spit-shine’ finish on each stone’s cut. This high gloss luster doesn't just highlight the beauty but also validates the stone's quality and hardness. It’s important to remember that the harder the turquoise, the higher its quality. Chalky, soft, low-grade turquoise cannot produce the same rich luster after cutting and polishing...Therefore, premium turquoise is judged by a combination of hardness, it’s brilliant luster, and rich color. Lastly, with these harder cuts, you won’t experience the color changes that happen over time like lower grade stones do, since they are more porous, ensuring a lasting beauty that stands the test of time.
SIZING:
Made to fit or either a man or a woman, this is made for a larger/wider size wrist that doesn’t need a wide gap opening to put it over the thickness of a fleshier arm. (1-1/8") The cuff isn’t as heavy as some of Al’s cuffs,so it’s right at the brink of being able to open the gap up some, to not being able to. So if you know how to adjust the gap, then this shouldn’t be a problem.. OR you can take it to a ‘reputable’ jeweler to do this. But just know, that by opening up the gap so it can then go over the arm, is the only thing that can be adjusted.. It does NOT change the 5-3/4" interior. It does help to know your wrist size & what gap your arm needs before purchasing, since cuffs fit different than any other type bracelet, so it is important they fit right!

PLEASE READ:
****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color. I find however, that photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (oranges, greens) can come up a little more vivid than other colors, so please take this into consideration. Please understand that each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears. *****
To give you close up photos,pictures can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you feel are let down since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is ,please either check it out on the wrist (photo 2 ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
