Cuff, Natural Stone, Turquoise, Hallmark, Vintage ‘70s, 4324

BOLD VINTAGE VIBES

Some pieces have a way of showing off their unique, bold beauty, and this large vintage ‘70s cuff, crafted by Juan Martinez, is just that. The wide sterling silver band is detailed with twisted rope borders, appliques, and 4 round turquoise stones. The star of the show is the large, natural, round turquoise stone with a caramel matrix and set in a simple bezel, emphasized by large, scalloped silver fan details. Bold vintage vibes that will catch anyone's eye the moment you walk into the room.
