Federico Royston Turquoise Cuff

A central circular cluster of about thirteen stones radiates outward like a starburst: one larger oval at center with oval, teardrop and freeform stones around it. Colors range from bright blue-green to muted greenish-blue, some with golden-brown matrix, some with darker webbing, some nearly solid. Each stone sits in a beaded-edge bezel on applied silverwork; darkened patina in the recesses. Made by Federico. Measures 5" inside; 3" across; weighs 230 g. One piece, held at the gallery in Santa Fe.
