Welcome to opalholicsanonymous.com where opal season lasts forever.

This is a very large, hand-made, ONE-OF-A-KIND cuff bracelet, made and signed by Johnathon Hummingbird with turquoise, coral, genuine cat claws, and a natural gold bearing druzy quartz. Notice the unusual colors in the crystal (I've circled them)... If you were to commission a cuff bracelet like this today, it would cost over $6,000.00 (and you couldn't get genuine cat claws or a gold bearing druzy quartz like this one).

I have other one-of-a-kind vintage and antique jewelry and collectible antiques to trade (or sell)... (I prefer trading for other things I'm interested in).

I collect vintage, antique, and mid-century modern coins, and more. If you have something I'm interested in, I'll be happy to consider trading. If not, we can work out a price you'll be happy with.

You can see a *few* items I have at http://www.coinbender.com
I will post more here (if you want me to) as I dig them out. Let me know if you want to see more.

Wow, that's quite a piece, and I love the way he does his signature, but you said they were cat claws, and obviously they're not house cat claws , so do you know what kind they are?

On my wrist, something that size would probably tip me over.

Probably mountain lion, cougar or puma.

This cuff is probably from the 50's and was originally made for a watch. The druzy quartz was set later. Speaking of which, the druzy is a WONDERFUL piece! It is gold bearing and has some colors in the crystal that are UNBELIEVABLE! Look in the white circle. What do you think caused those colors?

I have no idea, unless there's a bit of water in the crystals that's dispersing the light into rainbows, or if the gold could somehow cause it. I honestly have no clue.

It is an amazing bracelet, looks like a mans to me. If you still have it could you get a better pic of the colors in the quartz? Do you mind people picking your brain?

>>>>It is an amazing bracelet, looks like a mans to me.

Yes, it is a large man's cuff.

>>>> If you still have it could you get a better pic of the colors in the quartz?

I'll try, but all I have is my phone.

>>>> Do you mind people picking your brain?

Not at all (what's left of it).

I found some more (old) images of "THE CUFF."

I photo shopped them to fit here but there will be degradation. If you want to see images with better clarity, PM me w/your real world email address and I'll send you the UNTOUCHED files.

Cheers,

SWEET!

Nice... I hope you find it a nice home. It will make a nice conversation piece.

Hiya Charles. Nice stuff. As far as I know its still perfectly legal to use cat claws in work.
