This is a beautiful pair of vintage Zuni cuff links! They feature Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones with hand carved silver scalloped borders! An exquisite design!
Nestled high in the rugged mountains of Globe, Arizona, the Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine has long been celebrated for producing some of the purest and most iconic turquoise in the world. Named after the nearby Sleeping Beauty Mountain, this mine has gained renown for its stones' consistent robin's egg blue hue, free of matrix or veining. The smooth and uniform appearance of Sleeping Beauty turquoise makes it highly sought after in jewelry design, contributing to its popularity among artisans and collectors alike. Mined for over four decades, this mine has left an indelible mark on the turquoise market, with its stones gracing an array of jewelry pieces, from Native American treasures to contemporary designs. Despite the mine's closure in 2012, the enduring appeal of Sleeping Beauty turquoise lives on, as its vivid blue tones continue to captivate and inspire the world of jewelry craftsmanship and design. The cuff links measure about 1-1/4" x 3/4". The stones measure around 1/2" x 1/2". Sterling silver. Signed by Zuni artist, Diane Lonjose. Sturdy 8 grams.
