Lorraine Waatsa Large Vintage Turquoise Cluster Bracelet

This is a superb example of a large vintage Zuni turquoise cluster bracelet. This circa 1972 beauty was handmade by Lorraine Waatsa, daughter of THE Zuni master jeweler Alice Quam. In an exceptional design just like her mother's, Lorraine Waatsa set this wide silver cuff with fine natural turquoise that may be Morenci. It's just perfection. No other turquoise cluster bracelets needed after this one.

The piece measures 5 3/8" inside with a 1 1/8" gap. It's a full 3" wide. Yes, you read that right - three inches! Signed on the inside, the bracelet has been in a California collection since its original early 70's acquisition.
