The recess is what makes this work: the stones sit level with the band rather than proud of it, so the cuff stays comfortable under a sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove and below the channel the silver is stamped with rows of scallops and beaded arcs, then oxidised so the pattern reads as shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stone is Golden Hills, a bright even sky blue with rust brown matrix drifting through it. At 58 grams and a 20.75 mm band this is the lightest cuff in the group, the one to wear when you want turquoise without weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Hills turquoise comes from Kazakhstan and runs pale blue to lavender with fine dark webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChimney Butte is a Navajo (Dine) silversmith working out of New Mexico in a deliberately old style idiom: heavy gauge sterling, deep hand stamping, repousse, sandcast work, and good named mine turquoise. The mark is one of the most recognisable in contemporary Southwestern silver, which is part of why the work holds its value. This piece is stamped Sterling and Chimney Butte on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide cuff carries a wrist on its own, so wear it with the arm otherwise bare or with one plain bangle for company. There is flex in the band: it can be opened or closed a little to fit. Do that once, gently, with both hands on the terminals, then leave it. Sterling work-hardens each time it is bent, and it is repeated adjustment that cracks a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent. Newly made and unworn, with the deep oxidised finish the maker applies to the stamped recesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for one cuff only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you like what you see, please follow along at @sterlingstyleshop on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sterlingstyleshop\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs always, if you have any questions or would like additional photos or video, please message me.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sterling Style Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48288701120738,"sku":"292","price":389.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/9435\/1586\/files\/SKU0292-4894.jpg?v=1788058176","url":"https:\/\/sterlingstyleshop.com\/products\/chimney-butte-golden-hills-turquoise-cuff-seven-stones-navajo-sterling-silver","provider":"Sterling Style Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
