Number Eight Turquoise 100+ Carat Cuff with Rope Bezel and Starbursts by Michael Calditto, Navajo

Michael Calditto, a Navajo silversmith, centered this cuff on a Number Eight turquoise cabochon exceeding 100 carats, set in a rope bezel and framed by hand-fabricated silver starburst stampwork. Number Eight turquoise from Elko County, Nevada is among the rarest American turquoise — the mine closed in the 1970s — and is distinguished by its soft blue-green color with distinctive golden web matrix formed by iron oxide deposits. At over 100 carats, this is an exceptional stone for a cuff centerpiece. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
