A colorful Hubei Turquoise stone is featured in this one-of-a-kind handmade leather cuff bracelet. The little stone has been cut into a heart shape and features various shades of teal blues and greens interspersed with an intricate webbing of brown matrix. It is set in sterling silver with a plain bezel and lies in the center of an oxidized sterling silver shadow box setting with a bead border around the outside edge. The white leather cuff was created from a reconditioned vintage belt tooled with a classic western leaf pattern. Soft and supple from lots of use, the leather possesses a wonderfully worn patina with the natural brown leather peeking through the white surface. Fastening with a button stud closure, this leather cuff bracelet will fit a wrist that measures in the 6 1/4" range. Sweet and feminine, this turquoise cuff is a stunning piece of western wearable art!

Rich leathers, hand-forged sterling silver, and natural gemstones form an irresistible partnership in these extraordinary heirloom cuff bracelets! Most of the one-of-a-kind cuff centerpieces are exclusively designed and created by Jill Judd of Roca Jewelry Designs, while others feature antique, "dead pawn" jewelry pieces handcrafted by the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi Indians. We at Roca Jewelry Designs search high and low for the finest of stones to incorporate into our cuff centerpieces as well as for special, vintage Native American-made jewelry items (bolos, rings, pendants, etc.) to repurpose into unusual focal adornments.
 
To create the cuff portion of our bracelets, we painstakingly source, recycle, and refurbish vintage leathers from wherever we can find them! Old western belts with wonderfully worn, intricately tooled designs are used for many of the larger cuffs, while smaller bracelets are created using well-used, reconditioned reins and harness leathers. Each handmade leather cuff bracelet possesses its own distinctive character and seems to tell its own unique story - no two are alike, nor can they be replicated!
