Ancient River Cuff
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Royston Turquoise
Measures 5.25” from end to end - with cuffs, you want to have about an inch of an opening. This cuff fits best on a 5.25-6” wrist
Thick, and I do mean thick, cut of sterling silver with one of the prettiest stones of all time, makes one hell of a cuff. The cuff has a beautiful raw texture and the fish have a nice clean finish so they pop. This one is so good.
With all jewelry pieces, but especially cuffs - it is important to open and close your cuff very little. My advice is to pull the cuff open just enough to SLIP onto the side of your wrist (the thinnest part of the wrist) and then close enough to feel like it won't slip off. And then let it be and enjoy.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
