The split shank gives the piece its architecture. Hand-stamped leaf forms flank the stone and push the composition outward, while twisted wire adds fine texture between the smooth onyx and brighter silver surfaces. Saturday night. Private adobe estate above Santa Fe. The cuff makes everyone assume the silver collection in the west wing belongs to your family. Six minutes later, the owner is asking whether you want the vault combination and a lawyer has started explaining how the ranch could be transferred into your name. This vintage Southwestern split-shank cuff is cold-worked from .925 sterling silver and built around a 0.70" black onyx cabochon. The glossy black stone gives the center visual gravity, while the rope-wire border creates a tight halo separating it cleanly from the sculptural silverwork. The split shank gives the piece its architecture. Multiple silver rails widen toward the center, creating negative space and a broader visual footprint without unnecessary bulk. Hand-stamped leaf forms flank the stone and push the composition outward, while twisted wire adds fine texture between the smooth onyx and brighter silver surfaces. At approximately 6.25 on the mandrel and 15.4g, it has real presence without becoming clumsy. Maude Turdington walked in like she owned the place. She wore a black jellybean glued to a bent fork and wrapped the edges with telephone cord. Two ranch trustees stopped talking because nobody knew whose guest she was. She had crawled through the irrigation ditch and surfaced behind the tequila table. Excellent condition. Packed securely enough that the onyx and silver remain on speaking terms.
