Bisbee Turquoise Cuff by Ron Bedoni

About the Item

Heavy gauge sterling silver and turquoise cuff by Navajo silversmith Ron Bedoni. The 5-3/8” signature sterling silver filed and stamped cuff has an exquisite ½” x 5-3/8” Bisbee turquoise cabochon. The inside measurement is 5 ¼” with a 1 1/8” gap. The Bisbee mine, located near Bisbee, Arizona is one of the most famous mines in America. Bisbee Turquoise is known for its hard, beautiful blue stone that has unique matrix. The matrix is sometimes dark brown or a red/brown spiderweb. Mining Bisbee turquoise slowed down and completely ended by 1980. Ron Bedonie began working with silver when he was 20 years old, having learned the art of silversmithing techniques from his parents, Lutricia Yellowhair and John Bedonie Sr. Initially, he learned soldering techniques, then went on to learn stamping from his cousin, Thomas Jim. Ron makes his own stamps and chisels based on his sketches, and sometimes uses old car parts to create his tools. “I pressured myself into getting finely chiseled lines because it was more of a challenge," Bedonie says of his work. #J2035 @ S
