It's rare to find a sterling silver turquoise cuff like this one, but you've done it. This cuff is made of sterling silver and Kingman turquoise. Kingman can be found in different shades, but this color is unique. It's a high-intensity blue that I'm beginning to see in a few new pieces.

But let's forget color for a second. Yes, the color is intense, but that's why turquoise is a gemstone, isn't it? The true beauty of this piece is in its composition.

What do I mean by composition? Well, the composition is what makes pieces like this interesting. Bobby Johnson used stones in their nugget form instead of making flat cabs. Then, he arranged these asymmetrical nuggets into a symmetrical layout. And that, dear friends, is why you keep looking at it. It's never all about the stones, or the silver, we also need the artist.

If we didn't need the artist, we'd just go buy a pile of silver ingots and rough turquoise. If we didn't need the artist, we'd just buy tubes of paint and call it art. If we didn't need the artist, we'd just throw lumber and concrete on a plot and call it home. The key to every piece, dear friends, is always composition.

Bobby really pulled it off. This is undoubtedly an heirloom piece.
