This sterling silver cuff bracelet features a beautiful White Turquoise cabochon. The cab is bezel set and joined to the cuff that’s formed with two bands of patterned, solid sterling silver. This cuff features my *Patent Pending, original “utility” design, “roll bar”. It allows the cuff to slide easily onto the side of your wrist. There is nothing else like this, and I’m confident you will love the difference it makes. This cuff measures bracelet size 7”, however I can make it a little smaller, or a little larger if required.
*Patent Pending…
When I started creating my jewelry, I wanted to approach an age-old design issue I saw with cuff bracelets. Going back as far in history as I could research, cuff bracelets have always had flattened ends. Inevitably those flattened ends produce a sharpish/rough edge which always scratches the skin when you slide the cuff on and off. They also become uncomfortable when worn for long periods, as those sharp ends tend to dig into the soft underside of your wrist. My original, patent pending “utility” innovation has rounded ends that, although stationary, allow the cuff to slide easily onto the side of the wrist without scratching. They also soften the pressure on the underside, making them more comfortable to wear. I call the innovation a “roll-bar”, and have a “patent pending” on it while the patent process plays out.
White Turquoise has become one of the hottest semi-precious stones in jewelry within the last 5 years and is now seen on runways around the world. The stone was originally discovered in 1993 in Nevada, at the very end of the Dry Creek Turquoise Mine on the Shoshone Indian Reservation. White turquoise lacks the presence of any of the metals that give turquoise its colors…copper for blue, and iron for green, and morphs itself into Dolomite or Aragonite, both of which are found in various locations around the world. The White Turquoise stone from the Dry Creek Mine is the only one traded under the name White Buffalo Turquoise. Among my listings I have several pieces created with White Turquoise cabochons from Africa, and several that were created with genuine Dry Creek White Buffalo Turquoise cabochons which will be listed as such.
