A gorgeous Qingu Turquoise stone set in sterling silver takes center stage in this amazing leather cuff bracelet. The large round stone features a myriad of colors from pastel blues to tealy greens with lots of dark brown matrix. It is set in a plain sterling silver bezel surrounded by a floral border on top of a plain, oxidized back plate. The rich, dark red brown leather cuff was created from a section of reconditioned vintage belt leather that features a tooled basketweave pattern with a well used texture and aged patina. This one of a kind leather cuff bracelet fastens with a button stud closure and will fit a wrist that measures in the 6 1/4" range. Big and bold, with beautiful colors that really "pack a punch"!

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!
