Lester James, Bracelet, Chinese Turquoise, Tufa, Silver, Navajo Handmade, 6.75

You are going to be blown away by the Chinese Turquoise found in this cuff. Navajo artist Lester James has done a masterful job of cutting, inlaying and polishing these magnificent rocks. Lester begins with a piece of silver that has been designed with angles and curves, accomplished by using tufa carving techniques. Then he fills it with impressive cuts of turquoise. The cuts come from two beautiful Chinese rocks, a color close enough to match and one different enough to give the piece a unique flavor. You will love the big rock look of the cuff, which gives you something you can wear proudly to show off your appreciation of handmade Native American art. It is perfect, everyone who has seen the piece is blown away by the cuff. Consider this one of those great finds, a piece of magnificent silver and stone.
