Federico Blue Turquoise Cuff

Cuff face massed with about thirteen freeform cabochons in an asymmetric arrangement, shapes running from rough ovals to angular and pointed outlines, with several small rounds among them. Color ranges from bright to softer blue, with dark brown to black veining forming web-like patterns in the larger stones and little matrix in the smallest. All are hand-formed bezel settings on a silver base, with small rounded silver beads around the perimeter. Polished silver with duller oxidized areas. Made by Federico. One piece, held at the gallery in Santa Fe.
