A stunning celebration of classic Southwestern artistry, this handcrafted sterling silver cuff by Navajo silversmith Paul Livingston showcases twenty genuine Sleeping Beauty Turquoise stones arranged in an elegant two-row design. Vibrant, timeless, and increasingly difficult to find, the turquoise displays the legendary clear sky-blue color that made Sleeping Beauty one of the most coveted turquoise varieties in the world.
Each carefully selected stone is hand-set in sterling silver, creating a striking ribbon of color that wraps gracefully across the wrist. The clean, balanced arrangement allows the exceptional beauty of the turquoise to take center stage, while Paul's expert craftsmanship ensures a cuff that is both substantial and comfortable to wear.
What makes this piece especially noteworthy is the use of genuine Sleeping Beauty Turquoise from the famed Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona. The mine ceased turquoise production in 2012, making authentic Sleeping Beauty increasingly scarce with each passing year. Because no new material is being mined, quality Sleeping Beauty jewelry has become highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike, adding an element of rarity and long-term collectibility to pieces such as this.
Paul Livingston's meticulous silverwork and dedication to traditional Navajo craftsmanship elevate this cuff beyond a beautiful accessory into a wearable investment in Native American artistry and turquoise history.
