Cuff, Cluster, Turquoise, Needlepoint, Charlie John, Vintage, 3830

ONE THAT WILL BE CHERISHED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

Be still, my heart! This stunning vintage cluster cuff was crafted by renowned artisan Charlie John using beautiful hand-cut petit point and snake-eye turquoise stones, all set in tiny serrated bezels. The classic radial cluster design is accented by twist wire detailing and sterling silver drops, on a split-bar band that tapers to the back. This is one of those “bucket list” buys, that once-in-a-lifetime piece that will be cherished for generations.
