Magnus Sterling Silver and Square-Cut Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

This is a high-quality Southwest-style cuff bracelet crafted from heavy-gauge sterling silver, featuring five prominent square-cut turquoise cabochons. Each stone is set in a deep, handmade sawtooth or straight-edged bezel and exhibits a vibrant blue-green hue with a rich brown-to-black matrix, characteristic of high-end mines such as Royston or Number 8. Between each bezel setting are decorative sterling silver raindrop or bead accents, providing a classic and structural aesthetic. The construction is a double-shank style that merges into a solid terminal at each end for comfort and durability. The silver displays a natural soft patina indicative of age and use, with minor surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. The craftsmanship is attributed to the studio of Magnus (likely Magnus Aardal), known for the 'Santa Fe' style which blends traditional Native American techniques with contemporary Southwest design. The weight and thickness of the silver suggest premium craftsmanship from the late 20th century. The interior likely bears a 'Magnus' and 'Sterling' hallmark, though they are not visible in this specific view. The turquoise stones appear securely set with no visible cracks or stabilized fill, though one stone shows natural surface pits inherent to the organic material.
