Water-web Turquoise Cuff

Silver cuff on black, slightly elevated angle. Three stones: a large rounded-rectangular cabochon at center flanked by two smaller ovals. All read vivid blue with dark brown to black veining and patchy matrix, color uneven across each stone. Twisted rope wire frames the center stone, surrounded by a border of applied round silver beads that also runs along the sides. Small pointed silver appliques accent the base; aged patina in the crevices. Turquoise and sterling silver. One piece, held at the gallery in Santa Fe.
