Navajo Artisan-"LEON MARTINEZ"-Trillion Cut Royston Turquoise-Old School Navajo Sterling Applique Cuff (For Larger 6-3/4" Wrist)

Sale Price:$1,620.00 Original Price:$1,800.00

THE CUFF:
Showcased beautifully atop of a heavy gauge, 6 split round wire shank, is a gorgeous trillion cut of teal blue colored Royston turquoise.. One thing you're guaranteed with Leon's work, is that you are ensured the turquoise will be natural, if not 'gem quality' , since he comes from that school in which only using the best turquoise is a top priority with him & wouldn't dare give you any less than the best.

The Royston cut sits secure in one of Leon's hand made serrated bezels,which is something you just don't see as often & usually you see these beautifully made bezels with artists that take pride by literally doing everything in the piece, by hand..This particular bezel was made where Leon took sheet sterling & then sawed into it, thus creating a impressive hand made serrated bezel!

Creating a frame in order to help put the focus on the turquoise, is an ornate halo of snipped twisted wire curls that gives it a very embellished feel. 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 6,7,11)

This is hand finished with THE most drop dead 'Matte/Brushed Satin" finishing that really makes the sterling come to life & brings the metal to a wonderful level of beauty! ! It is simply striking!!!

WRIST SIZE:
It's made for a larger size wrist,that is wide but one that's not so 'fleshy' since it only has a 1" gap opening.. (If your wrist is 'fleshy', you would need a larger gap opening to allow it to go on) The sterling is nice & solid & is literally non bendable, so this has to fit perfectly since it cannot be adjusted! (To know if this will fit, please read about ""How To Fit A Cuff" & if you need my help, please email me, I'd be more than happy to guide you!)
