This stunning vintage inlay cuff was made by Laguna-Hopi artist, Duane Maktima. The width tapers from 1 inch at the tips up to 1-3/8 inches in the middle. It features expertly inlaid pieces of Number 8 Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Orange Spiny Oyster Shell and Mediterranean Coral. The inside measures 5 inches + 1-1/4 inches for a total inner circumference of 6-1/4 inches. It is seen in the photos just fitting a 6-1/4 inch wrist but not too tight. It is stamped sterling and displays Duane’s mark, a side facing bird figure with a stacked DM next to it.

Reminder: This is a pre-owned vintage piece of jewelry that does show evidence of normal wear (all stone inlay is in tact with no cracks or chips). We encourage you to study each photo carefully as they are part of the description. Be sure to ask all questions before purchasing since our vintage jewelry sales are final.

Will it fit? The best way to determine your ideal cuff size is to measure the inside circumference of a favorite cuff you already wear comfortably. The total measurement is tip to tip (inside) + the open gap. This can be accomplished with a soft measuring tape or a length of string that can be subsequently stretched along a ruler for measurement. You can use the same methods around your wrist to determine total size if you don’t have a cuff to use. If you stack bracelets, you may want to go a little larger for wiggle room, but if you only wear one bracelet at a time, a snugger fit is usually okay. If the cuff is very wide, you will generally need a larger size than usual. It comes down to your personal preference and comfort, but the more you collect, the more familiar you become with what works for you. 

Actual colors may vary slightly due to lighting, screen display and/or the way color is seen by an individual.

Handcrafted/Handmade work is unique in its design, which means that imperfections will most often be part of an item’s character. Inconsistencies will occur by nature, which makes each piece truly one of a kind; an artist is not a machine.
