Nacozari Turquoise Cuff Bracelet on Thick Sterling Silver
Nacozari Turquoise Cuff Bracelet on Thick Sterling Silver
This piece of turquoise is like looking at the earth from space! The Nacozari stone has colorations of blue, a smidge of green and chunks of pyrite throughout.
The stone before setting it into silver was 35mm (1.38inches) and in the silver setting, it measures 1.58 inches across (4cm). The 999 fine silver bezel around the stone is also patterned and I added a twisted sterling rope detail. The back of the cabochon setting has a unique design that gives this piece a vintage southwestern style vibe.
I used sturdy 6 gauge half-round sterling wire to form the cuff, which measures 6" plus has a 1" gap. It is stamped .925 and has my initials. Best fits a medium to large wrist. This is truly a one of a kind piece that will last for generations.
I ship USPS First Class with tracking and a signature required.
CARE of turquoise: please do not subject the stone to any chemical sprays or lotions. It's best to put your jewelry on after putting on your lotions or sprays. If the stone needs to be cleaned, a soft cloth with water will be enough. Do not put turquoise in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Silver tarnishes. If you wish to polish the silver, you can use a polishing cloth but not on the stone. I've given the silver a brushed finish and if you want to keep that finish, you can use a green Scotch Brite scrubby pad (again not touching the stone) to achieve the satin look.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Jewelry should not be subjected to lotions, sprays or any chemical, as damage to materials may result. If a light cleaning is needed, usually a soft, water dampened cloth will do the trick.
Items can be stored with an anti-tarnish strip or you can polish pieces with a Sunshine cloth. The more a piece is worn, the less it tarnishes due to body oils.
A person's body chemistry may cause changes to metals. Renaissance wax is a commonly used sealant to prevent these changes. My items are not sealed unless expressly stated in listing description.
