🔨 STRUCTURE * I Know * CLEAN LINES AND ANGLES – Inventive – Powerful – Bold – Connective
The Turquoise Argentium Cuff brings vivid blue-green colour together with crisp, modern lines. Turquoise ranges from sky blue to mossy green and often shows a natural matrix. As the light shifts, the stone looks lively and bright. Paired with luminous Argentium silver, this bracelet feels fresh, strong, and easy to wear every day.
Design & feel
First, I fuse two bands of square Argentium wire. Next, I curve them into a fluid oval and build a bezel that fits the stone precisely. Then I solder the setting at centre and refine each edge. The polished finish reflects light across the silver and frames the turquoise, so the cuff reads clean and powerful.
About the stone
Turquoise is prized for saturated colour and earthy character. Because each stone forms in nature, markings and hue vary; therefore, every cuff is one-of-a-kind. The palette pairs beautifully with denim, white, black, and neutrals.

Materials & care
Argentium Silver (940) includes a touch of germanium, so it stays bright, hard, and tarnish-resistant. It is always nickel-free and hypoallergenic for everyday comfort. For patinated pieces, rinse with mild soap and water, pat dry with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh dips or ultrasonic cleaners that can strip the finish.

First, I select a polished turquoise cabochon. Next, I build a bezel cup, solder it to a backplate, and test the fit until it sits perfectly. Then I cut and fuse the cuff wires, form them to hold the bezel, and solder the assembly with clean seams. After that, I polish and tumble the bracelet for strength. Also, I heat-treat the Argentium to raise germanium to the surface; as a result, the finish resists tarnish. Finally, I set the stone and bring the cuff to a mirror shine.
