Sterling Cluster Cuff featuring Lone Mountain Turquoise

About The Sterling Cluster Cuff featuring Lone Mountain Turquoise

Sterling silver and natural turquoise from the Lone Mountain mine in Nevada were used in making this meticulously executed bracelet.  Silver, mill-rolled sheet and drawn round wire of two gauges were utilized in the fabrication of the cuff's foundation as well as for decorative elements with drawn triangle wire forming top and bottom primary shank components.  "Raindrops" were smelted and individually soldered between settings to form the lacey edge and decorate spaces within the cluster and flanking fan forms.

Bezels are fine, hand cut, with serrated edges.  Repousse crescents frame the centermost stone and set the curve of each flanking "fan".
