This beauty was likely made by Ray in the late 70's to mid 80's. The Royston stones are absolutely stunning!
This cuff is not for the faint at heart!
Weighing in at a massive 165 grams, the sterling silver accents only emphasize the beauty of the natural Royston stones! You will unlikely ever find another cuff of this magnitude! This is definitely a wearable art for generations offered by
White Bear Turquoise!
All measurements are in the photos.
You will see natural splits in the stones. These were already there when Ray set the stones. You can tell because there is resin inside the natural fissures. Zoom in on the stones and see the natural matrix lines.
There are no chips, which would be an indication of natural inclusions and not a drop.
Feel free to ask any questions or make offers!
