- About The Sterling Round Cluster Cuff Set with 67 Natural Turquoise Stones
This dramatic dusk blue turquoise cuff was lovingly crafted with no maker's mark. It was made to be worn over a velvet shirt cuff and can easily fit a 6 1/4" to 6 1/2" wrist (the latter with slight adjustment) or a 6" wrist with a velvet cuff.
The turquoise is high grade and well matched with slight dark matrix. Wearing this glorious bracelet is like capturing the sky to decorate your wrist !
Basis of the cuff is fabricated using sterling mill rolled sheet and drawn wire of light and heavy gauge joined with hard solder. Bezels are file serrated and rope twist wire with smelted silver drops are used to order and embellish the spaces between and along the edges of each grouping.
