Wondering why we are calling this fabulously huge cuff bracelet with brilliant blue turquoise stones “Southwest Modernist”?  The answer is simple, if we didn’t see who made it we can’t sell it as Native American.  That is the law as we understand it.  Here is a great piece of Southwest jewelry with a unique take on tribal expression.  If you like wild designs in the least expected places, no law says the Southwest can’t go “mod”.  And, “Boy Howdy”, this one pulls it off in spades.
