Description: Handmade, tufa cast solid sterling silver, and natural, and rare 1970s Arizona Castle Dome turquoise cuff bracelet. Tufa casting is an old Navajo technique, using compressed volcanic ash, that has turned to stone. A carving is made on a slice of tufa, then melted silver is poured between 2 pieces of the tufa, making the cast. The bracelet is 1-9/16 inches wide, and very thick. It is 7-1/2 inches around on the inside, including the gap, and I can help to adjust it between 7 inches, and 8 inches around including the gap, prior to shipping. The beautiful stone is teal blue, and fades light to dark( called Polychrome), with a touch of distinctive tan matrix. The all natural cabochon weighs 12.4 carats, and it was backed for stability. It is signed gh Sterling inside of the band. It weighs 156.3 grams(5.51 ounces), it's a beast of a bracelet, it is new with a tag, and made in Arizona! Lapidary and Silversmithing by George Hayden.
