Indonesian Silver Cuff

A flower of green turquoise blooms in the middle of a silver whirlpool.

This cuff comes from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary, in Carco Lake turquoise and sterling silver. Carco Lake turquoise, from Nevada, is generally known for its lime green tones and dark matrix. Here a round center stone with a webbed matrix is ringed by eight smaller cabochons in green and blue, set as a flower. The rest of the cuff swirls with deep repousse scrolls and spirals, blackened in the recesses so the silver shines. It is 2.13 inches long, 1 deep and 2 high.
