Southwestern Veteran Artisan- LEO FEENEY- 3 Panel - Purple / Blue / Lime Green Color Theme- Sparkling Gemstone Sterling Cuff-For Medium 6.50" Wrist
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Sadly to say, Leo passed away in Spring 2025. So unfortunately, unless you find someone who had some of his work in stock or pieces that are vintage, there will be no new jewelry made by him. I know his ultra-beautiful gemstone creations will truly be missed — he was a major figure in the industry with a distinct signature style, to where you never had to second-guess who had made the piece. His artistry, careful workmanship, and unmistakable designs left a lasting impression on collectors and fellow artists alike.
Years back, Leo once teamed with renowned southwestern artisan Don Lucas, but unfortunately the two went their separate ways years ago and pursued individual paths while still maintaining notable similarities in style. Both artists favored multi-colored stones arranged in clustered settings with a variety of shaped cuts, yet Leo distinguished himself by incorporating signature southwestern materials such as turquoise, spiny oyster, and coral, and then pairing those with the most magnificent, vibrantly colored faceted semi-precious gemstones. That combination gave each piece a more top‑notch, high‑end feel and an ultra‑glamorous look that pushed Southwestern jewelry beyond strictly traditional boundaries.
One thing I have always admired is Leo’s mastery of the color wheel — if you’re not familiar, he often placed two colors opposite each other on the wheel for maximum contrast and impact. This cuff is a perfect example, where he paired greens,purples,with blues, creating striking tension and harmony. Regardless of trends, he had a remarkable eye for color and an instinct for knowing which hue to place next to another so the overall design would truly pop. Now more than ever, anything of Leo's will always be in demand & his jewelry is found in more higher end galleries/stores.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my best to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not disappointed when you get the item. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (oranges & greens especially) can come up a little more vivid, depending on your monitor, so please take this into consideration. So please go through all photos to see ANY variation.
In order to show all the fine detail, close up photos tend to make the item look much larger & everything also is more magnified .So to get an accurate idea of how big this is,please view photos of it on the wrist or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements in the "INFO".
