Modern Southwestern Style Sterling Silver and Turquoise (or Chrysocolla) Open Cuff Bracelet
This handcrafted sterling silver cuff features a large oval stone with striking character, framed by stamped sunburst and geometric patterns along the band. A distinctive statement piece, it’s equally at home with everyday denim or a simple evening look.
The interior is stamped “STERLING” and bears maker’s marks. The stone has not been positively identified and may be turquoise or chrysocolla. A visible line in the stone resembles a crack but feels completely smooth to the touch. Very classy and wears beautifully on the wrist.

MEASURING YOUR WRIST:
First, measure the circumference of your wrist where you plan to wear the cuff. Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string. Wrap it snugly around your wrist, mark where the ends meet, and then measure the string with a ruler. This measurement is your wrist circumference.
MEASURING A CUFF BRACELET:
Cuff bracelets are measured in two parts: the length of the metal, measured from end to end along the curve, and the opening between the metal ends. For example, a cuff with 6 inches of metal and a 1-inch opening has an approximate total inside circumference of 7 inches. This may fit a wrist measuring approximately 6¾ to 7¼ inches, depending on how you prefer your cuff to fit. Please measure your wrist and compare it with the measurements above before purchasing.
ADJUSTING YOUR CUFF BRACELET:
This cuff can be adjusted for a smaller or larger fit, but professional adjustment is recommended. Please have a qualified jeweler gently adjust the opening by bringing the ends closer together or moving them slightly apart. Do not bend the cuff at the center or force it into shape, as this can weaken the metal, distort its shape, or cause it to break.
WEARING YOUR CUFF BRACELET:
Position the opening on the inside of your wrist, just above your wrist bone. Slide the cuff sideways around the top of your wrist, then move it slightly up or down until it sits comfortably. Your cuff should fit snugly, but never feel tight. It also shouldn’t be loose enough to twist freely around your wrist.
