Richard Schmidt Sterling Silver Lapis & Turquoise Collector Cuff

Centered around a striking natural lapis lazuli cabochon, the bracelet captures the rich royal blues and natural golden pyrite inclusions that have made lapis one of history's most coveted gemstones. Six vibrant turquoise cabochons frame the centerpiece, creating a bold Southwestern composition that balances color, texture, and handcrafted silverwork.

The wide hammered sterling silver cuff features Richard Schmidt's signature artisan finish, where every hammer mark and hand-forged detail celebrates the beauty of traditional silversmithing. Rather than relying on mass production, each cuff is individually fabricated, giving every piece its own character.

Whether displayed in a private collection or worn as a statement piece, this cuff represents the enduring craftsmanship and artistic legacy of contemporary Southwestern jewelry.
