We are pleased to offer this gorgeous new sterling silver natural Royston turquoise bracelet made by world famous Navajo silversmith Darryl Becenti. We were shocked and saddened to hear of Darryl's untimely death in late March of this year. One of our suppliers of Darryl's jewelry just opened back up after having been closed since late March and we purchased as much of Darryl's jewelry as we could.
This Native American cuff bracelet is set with 5 large natural Royston turquoise stones - gorgeous teal color with reddish, honey colored matrix - polished perfectly smooth with no cracks or chips, just natural matrix. The cuff is covered end to end with deep stamp-work, applied repousse work, silver beads and more. The cuff has a scalloped edge and is finished off with a old pawn finish,
The sturdy bracelet measures 2-1/8 wide, with an inside end-to-end measurement of 5-1/4 inch plus there is an opening gap of 1-3/16. The bracelet weighs 171 grams (that's six ounces).
