Robert's new masterpiece "Nestled Pair" tufa-cast silver cuff. It is 1-3/8" tall tapering down to 15/16". The inside circumference is 5-1/8" with a 1-1/8" opening. Made with sterling silver. Inlaid with a Lone Mountain Turquoise moon and Australian Opal comet.  

Robert carefully carved the bracelet over the course of several days, adding micro details in the tufa stone carving. Depicting 2 love birds in Santa Fe scenery, with a comet and a Big Dipper in the sky, this exceptional piece showcases the young jeweler's talent.
