{"product_id":"stamped-spider-web-turquoise-cuff","title":"Stamped Spider Web Turquoise Cuff","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sterling silver and turquoise cuff. This is a beautiful, early and rare large format open work cuff with stunning oval cabochon turquoise set into the middle.taking the center stage. This type of work is likely from an artisan from a Southwestern Native American tribe, and probably from the Navajo tribe, given its appearance and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cuff is of the classic open work desin that allows the front to open up to showcase a stunning, hand selected, cut and polished gem quality piece of turquoise. Surrounding the stone are hand made rope twisted sterling wire 'S' designs, and the border of the stone also is finished with both rope and graduating silver bead designs. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe shoulders are finished with crisp, traditional Southwestern stampwork: repeating chevrons, often called “bird track” stamping, set in tight rows to create a graphic, rhythmic texture. At the ends, a radiating fan or sunray motif anchors the design, giving the cuff a clean sense of direction and symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\":2qj\" class=\"ii gt adO\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\":2qk\" class=\"a3s aiL\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"avWBGd-1141\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong, darkened channels run through the band to add contrast, with the oxidised recesses sharpening the geometry and letting the handwork read from across a room.

Number Eight Spiderweb turquoise is among the most collected American turquoises, named for the historic Number 8 Mine in Nevada. At its best, it is defined by a crisp “spiderweb” matrix: fine, high-contrast webbing that laces across a blue to blue-green ground, creating that graphic, almost ink-drawn look collectors chase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone has all of the features of a stone from this mine; visibly it is: a vivid blue-green turquoise cabochon with dramatic matrix and strong contrast, with appearance consistent with Nevada material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cuff is unsigned, and is likely an earlier piece. Dating from circa 1960's, pieces like this rarely come to market. This size is very wearable. It is able ot be carefully adjusted toward its end pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDimensions - Height at the front 1.68.
