Its color ranges from pale sky blue to deep blue-green depending on the mineral content of the host rock. Sonoran turquoise comes from the Sonoran Desert region of the American Southwest, prized for its vivid color and natural matrix patterning. Long associated with grounding, calm, and honest communication. Chosen for its distinctive blue-green color, its raw unpolished form that shows natural matrix and inclusions, and its warm, earthy presence. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a grounded meaning that fits real life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRaw Sonoran Turquoise Copper Cuff: Materials and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine raw Sonoran turquoise, 5 to 10mm average per stone, unpolished with natural color variations, matrix patterning, and inclusions.

I hand-select every turquoise stone for its color depth and natural matrix character, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around each stone through an electrical process, one slow layer at a time. Bronze wire is carefully wrapped around each stone, adding warmth and mixed-metal detail. The antique finish deepens the character from the start. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade turquoise bracelet from this studio is one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFit and Sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cuff has a slight opening that allows for gentle adjustability. Due to the wide cuff form, measure around the widest part of your hand (knuckles) when making a fist to ensure the cuff will slide on comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo find your best fit, measure your wrist and add 0.5\" for a snug fit or 0.75\" for a relaxed, comfortable fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75\" bracelet, fits approximately 5.0 to 5.25\" wrist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\" bracelet, fits approximately 5.75 to 6.0\" wrist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25\" bracelet, fits approximately 6.5 to 6.75\" wrist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.0\" bracelet, fits approximately 7.25 to 7.5\" wrist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid repeatedly bending the cuff open and closed.

Turquoise is a porous stone sensitive to moisture, oils, and chemicals. Keep dry and store away from humidity. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid any liquid cleaners directly on the stone. Wipe the copper band with a soft cloth to maintain the antique finish. Avoid harsh polishing, which will remove the aged patina. Do not repeatedly bend the cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGift Packaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery order arrives gift-ready with natural materials and a handwritten note card.
