For your enjoyment we present a Royston turquoise bracelet by Orville Tsinnie. This bracelet has a lot of "Wow Factor" not only because the artist won multiple awards as well as the 1999 IACA Lifetime Achievement award, but because it features a central triangular shaped turquoise stone with eight more stones, four on each side all from the Royston Turquoise mine in Tonopah, Nevada. These stone are displayed in handmade sawtooth and smooth silver bezels and surrounding the settings are twisted wire, silver dots and deep filework on a darkened background. All this is set on a heavy, solid cuff. This turquoise and sterling silver bracelet could have also been a watch cuff at one time! It is definitely one you will enjoy for years to come.
