Orange spiny oyster shell just exudes happiness - it’s like wearing sunshine! This sterling silver row cuff made by Apache silversmith, Rosella Paxson, features saturated geometric spiny shapes surrounded by bead wire and spaced with star shot. The hand stamped split cuff tapers from 1/2 inch wide up to 3/4 inch wide in the middle, but the middle setting is actually 1-3/8 inches tall. The inside measures 5-3/4 inches around the inside plus a 7/8 inch gap for total inner circumference of 6-5/8 inches. It is seen in the photos fitting loose on a 6-1/4 inch wrist. This listing is for the cuff in the single item photos only - other complementing pieces can be found in separate listings. 

Rosella S. Paxson is originally from Whiteriver, AZ but currently resides in Albuquerque, NM. She is a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe on the Ft Apache Reservation. When we asked her about her craft recently, she was very humble, but she said “I have been silversmithing for over 20 years, and enjoy every minute of it... making a piece of jewelry and putting your thoughts of design into the piece you’re making whether it's earrings, rings, bracelets or pendants….it's unique...I am thankful and blessed to have become a silversmith.”

NATIVE MADE

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.

This listing is for the item named in the title only. Additional photo props or styling pieces are not included.

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.

Thank you for looking! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
