OSCAR BETZ HAS OUTDONE HIMSELF.
The legendary lapidary artisan is best known for his lightweight southwestern chandelier earrings, but he’s bringing his unrivaled talent to a whole new signature style this season – contemporary cuffs boasting ancient Pueblo pottery shards. The sleek polished sterling silver cuff is accented with dainty details and adorned with a double-setting of complementing shards set in handmade bezels. Stunning one-of-a-kind statement piece!
