Sterling Silver and Kings Manassa Turquoise Cluster Cuff by Derrick Martinez
This is a truly exceptional piece for the serious collector. Handcrafted by Derrick Martinez, this heavy sterling silver cluster cuff showcases 30 stones of genuine Manassa turquoise — one of the rarest and most coveted turquoise varieties in the world.
Sourced from the historic King's Manassa Mine in south-central Colorado, Manassa turquoise is prized for its rich blue-green to deep emerald hues and distinctive golden-brown matrix. Because the mine is no longer in operation, authentic Manassa turquoise is increasingly scarce, making pieces like this one a true investment in wearable art.
The cuff is set with three rows of ten stones each, randomy placed round and oval cuts that create a lush, full cluster effect across the face of the bracelet. A classic ribbon design graces each side, adding an elegant architectural detail to the bold composition. At 68 grams of heavy sterling silver, this cuff has a substantial, luxurious feel on the wrist. Confirm the size will fit you as this will not be adjustable
