A fantastic Turquoise stone from the Hubei Province in China is featured in this one of a kind, handmade leather cuff bracelet. The chunky stone features a brilliant sky blue color with a smattering of dark brown matrix. Set in sterling silver, the stone is surrounded by a thick castellated bezel framed by a hand textured border on top of an oxidized back plate. The rich, black\brown leather cuff was created from reconditioned vintage harness leather that is quite distressed. It features a well worn patina and is quite supple from lots of prior wear and tear! Fastening with a button stud closure, this turquoise leather cuff bracelet will fit a larger wrist that measures in the 6 3/4" range. This one of a kind cuff is full of rugged 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!
