Look at this Sonoran Gold turquoise cuff. Yes, it is another Shirley Henry design, and yes, she's a pro at incorporating unique color into her pieces. This time we're ogling the green stones in this 50-gram petit point cuff. They're completely devoid of blue, although Sonoran Gold is primarily known for being blue and green.
Each green gemstone also has rich gold undertones which are characteristic of Sonoran Gold turquoise. The central stone features a reflective glint of pyrite. But that stuff is boring. The reality is Shirley chose some very dark Sonoran Gold stones. Giving you a piece that doesn't look like anyone else's. Tada!
Yes, the gauge on the terminals is thicker than normal. Sure, it has a mirror finish which means it goes with "modern" clothing. But the moral of the story is Shirley Henry picks unusual stones. Why? So that you can say, "You don't have this because Shirley Henry picks unusual stones!"
