- About The Traditional Three Cluster Turquoise Cuff Bracelet
There are 66 bright blue hand-cut turquoise cabochons ranging in shape from round to egg shape. Circular drops of sterling silver frame the outermost row. A thin twisted rope of silver serves to separate each of the three clusters. There is no maker's mark on this piece--being of a time when such things were not commonly done. Elegant work, any way you look at it.
