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