About The Colorado Turquoise & Silver Cuff

These 12 luscious oval stones are teal to blue green in color, each set in a proportional sawtooth bezel. Together these 12 turquoise cabochons serve as satellites encircling a center turquoise stone 7/8" in length X 1/4" in width. 

Shay's stamp work is confidently struck employing hatched crescent shapes and 8 pointed star shapes. All edges are smoothly finished to ensure a comfortable work of art on your wrist.
