Sterling Silver Sonoran Gold Turquoise Tom Lewis Navajo Cuff Bracelet

Sonoran Gold is thusly named because it’s from the Sonoran Desert region of Mexico, and it’s goldish color under it’s greens. This piece is by Navajo artist Tom Lewis. I have other Tom Lewis pieces, including the pieces with the galloping ponies. However, this is a masterpiece.

Why is it a masterpiece you ask? Well, first of all, it’s made with superior pieces of green Sonoran Gold. You get to see more "gold" in the piece than normal. Also, and I can’t state this enough: Composition. The difference between two identical pieces of jewelry always comes down to composition. It’s never all about any one aspect of a piece, it’s always about the whole piece.

Composition-wise, you have some gorgeous green stones that amount to about 7 large rings on your wrist. Each “corner” of 3 bezels in the front is studded with hogans. Then deeply stamped applique is added. All of this serves to focus the eye on each stone. It doesn’t end there, however. The piece is then supported by heavy gauge silver and 2 more Sonoran gold turquoise cabochon.

All of this comes in at a hefty 94 grams. This isn’t a light piece by any stretch of the imagination. I love heavy cuffs and lightweight cuffs, but to be sure: you’ll certainly know you’re wearing THIS cuff, and so will everyone else. That’s what we love and that's what this piece is all about. Tom pulled it off. It’s a classic.
