A first of a kind for us, this very clean little cuff has an oblique rectangular cut centerpiece.
Everything about the cuff is built around and follows the shape of this lagoon blue green, natural turquoise stone. Flecks of rust brown matrix comingle with an intense deep blue lacework over small islands of blue green creating that "water" effect.
At 60 plus years of age, this statement piece is thoroughly modern and beautiful!
