A really unusual turquoise stone is featured in this lovely, handmade leather cuff bracelet. The oval stone is Hubei turquoise that features a stunning greyish blue color with a muted matrix inclusion of cream, soft green and caramel brown. Set in sterling silver, the slightly domed stone is surrounded by a scalloped bezel on top of a lightly oxidized back plate. The narrow leather cuff was created from a reconditioned vintage belt tooled with a classic leaf pattern. The leather is well worn and distressed and is a rich chocolate brown color. Fastening with a button stud closure, this turquoise leather cuff bracelet will fit a small wrist that measures in the 5 3/4" to 6" range. This cuff is so different, and possesses a sweetly feminine, western chic!

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!
