Drawing inspiration from the boundless skies and thunderbird, this cuff is a testament to impeccable craftsmanship. At the heart lies a captivating Birdseye Kingman turquoise stone, its blue-green palette echoing the vast desert landscapes. On either side, thunderbirds soar, their detailed wings and features masterfully etched into the silver. Each detail of this cuff, from the rope-style edging to the star-like embellishments, tells a story.
Birdseye refers to a type of turquoise akin to Spiderweb turquoise, but distinct in that it features a light blue base with a complementary blue matrix rather than dark patterns. This configuration yields a unique visual effect where cross-cut stones reveal numerous pockets of lighter blue stone enveloped by darker blue matrix, resembling a bird's eye. Birdseye turquoise, a rarity, can only be found in a few mines, including the Kingman Turquoise Mine located in Arizona.
