Sterling Silver & Sonoran Gold Turquoise Cuff by Mike Thomas Jr.
This extraordinary cuff bracelet is a masterwork of Native American silversmithing by Mike Thomas Jr., showcasing five Sonoran Gold turquoise stones in a stunning range of warm, earthy hues — from rich golden-brown to deep teal — each uniquely patterned with the characteristic matrix spots that make Sonoran Gold one of the most sought-after turquoise varieties in the world.
The top of the cuff presents the five stones and silver spots in a bold, eye-catching row. The sides are where the artistry truly shines: intricate overlay leaves and swirling designs are meticulously cut and layered in sterling silver, creating incredible depth and dimension. A classic rope border frames the composition, while fine edge engraving adds a refined finishing detail that speaks to the level of craftsmanship throughout.
