- About The Massive Turquoise & Silver Cuff
This massive cuff is like wearing a beautiful piece of armor. Reminiscent of the old bowman's wrist guard or ketoh, this bracelet will not go un-noticed with your Western finery !
Each of the 19 turquoise stones is all natural and of a mottled intense blue to blue green with matrix ranging from deep brown fine lines to patches of black and pyrite.
