Older Navajo cuff with 30 turquoise stones, by Irene Chiquito (R.I.P.). #2572

This ultra-classic, traditional cuff has 30 settings of actual turquoise—not the compressed block stuff.  When acquired, it was tagged as having Kingman, but we might lean toward it being Sleeping Beauty turquoise.   Irene Chiquito was born in 1925 and passed to the other side on December 30th, 2019 at age 94.  Her primary jewelry-making years were in the 1980's and '90's.  Though the chipset on the camera doesn't show it, some of the stones—which are all perfect--are taking-on a slight greenish hue—which takes many decades.  This cuff was likely made in the '80's.  Total inside circumference, including the 1.25-inch 'gap,' is 7-inches even.  Thus it will fit a person with a 6 and 7/8th's up to a 7 and 1/8th-inch wrist size perfectly.  Never attempt to reshape a cuff with this many settings—"buy it to fit, not to bend." This cuff has been cared-for and never bent.  Please measure all the way around your wristbone prior to purchasing.  It is slightly tapered from 1 and 1/4th-inch wide at the top, to 1 and 1/8th-inch at each end.  Weight is 67-grams (or 2.36-ounces).  Hallmarked "IC," with the "C" slightly smaller than the "I."  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.  Enjoy!
