THE CUFF:
Everything about this cuff says screams ‘HIGH QUALITY"!! Between the unflippin unbelieveable cut of gorgeous gem quality turquoise,to the weight of the cuff,then add all the hand made factor in, I really don't know what is better! It is a 'win-win' cuff in it's total entirety! It is Navajo jewelry and Leon at it's best!

The high domed cut of Royston is diplayed inside a unusual bezel that you just don't see..Rather than your normal jewelry supply store kind bezel or one that comes pre-serrated,this one is made where Leon took actual 1/2 round wire & then sawed into it,thus creating a impressive hand made serrated bezel!

Helping to accent on the turquoise is an ornate display of thick gauge swirls of twisted wire & star conchos that line the top & bottom that were made by melting the sterling into little beads & then hand pounding & forming them into shape so they can then be hand stamped.The latter is a time consuming process,but this is the quality of workmanship you'll get with Leon,is the workmanship!

The design sits on a 6 wire split-heavy 10 gauge round wire shank that is spread to accomodate the centers size.The 10 gauge wire helps to makes this a solid & extremely strong,hefty feeling piece..At the terminals ends,you'll see how the wire is soldered together,forming almost a corrugated feel & between the gauge being already heavy & then being the wires are soldered together,makes it non-adjustable.(see photo 16 )

This is hand finished with THE most drop dead 'Satin-Oxidized-Vintage Revival finishing that really makes the sterling come to life! It is simply beautiful & striking!!!
