Terry Martinez Morenci Turquoise Sterling Ingot Bracelet size 6 7/8"
Terry Martinez is the brother of renowned (and one of our favorites) silversmith Calvin Martinez. Earning awards rightfully on his own, Terry crafts in a similar Traditional Revival style to his brother, employing expert craftsmanship.
This seven-stone graduated row bracelet is set with thick, vivid blue stones of high-grade natural Morenci turquoise from Arizona. This is the fabled rich blue Morenci turquoise one hopes to find and seldom does (mined in the early 80s). The stones are thick and beautifully domed, and set in straight-edged bezels wrapped with twist wire. The cuff itself is highly polished Sterling, framing the stones perfectly and ending with a deep-stamped dovetail pattern at the terminals.
A wonderful little detail: this piece features stampwork on the inside of the cuff (see photo).
Hallmarked "Terry Martinez" in script on one end of the inside design and stamped "Sterling" on the other side.
