- About The Tufa Stone Cast Diamond Inlay Bracelet
Nicely sculptured, tufa stone cast, silver cuff with seven diamond-shaped inlays of the most electric blue natural turquoise we've seen in a long time. Some pieces of turquoise have just a hint of blond matrix. Other pieces have no matrix at all. No marks on this possible circa 1940's - 1950's Zuni creation keep us from applauding a particular jeweler. Adjustment is not recommended with so much inlay. It would best fit a 6" to 6 1/8" wrist. The Southwestern "diamond" bracelet can be worn with blue jeans or with that "little black dress".
