Featuring the Heart & Wings Cuff



Boho style isn’t a checklist—it’s a road that refuses to be fenced in. Flowy silhouettes, easy layers, prints that wander, colors that nod to dust, cloud, and river. Sterling silver turquoise jewelry slips into that world like a familiar trail song: timeless, a touch untamed, and crafted under wide, weather-blessed skies.


Why Turquoise + Sterling Silver Belongs in Boho


Turquoise has the color of far horizons; sterling silver keeps the moonlight close. Together they echo boho’s heartbeat:


  • Freedom of shape: A turquoise pendant anchors a gauzy dress without weighing it down.

  • Layering through all seasons: Silver chains stack gracefully over linen in summer and sweaters in winter.

  • Earth-first palette: Turquoise sings with crochet, suede, lace, and denim—the fabrics boho loves.

  • Individuality over trends: Each stone’s matrix is a thumbprint. No two stories match.


Respect note: Many iconic turquoise and silversmithing traditions come from Native artisans of the Southwest. We honor those lineages. When you want tribal-specific designs, buy from Native makers and credit their work. Our Western-inspired pieces avoid sacred symbols and are offered with gratitude.

Out on a sun-browned pasture, our Heart & Wings Cuff perches on a weathered fence post, cattle drifting like dark clouds in the distance. The centerpiece is a carved crimson heart, framed by bright turquoise cabochons, deep violet ovals, and a midnight-blue accent stone. Hand-stamped scalloped silver and wing-like side plates give the cuff motion—as if the piece might fly off toward the horizon at dusk.


Why it’s perfectly boho:


  • Statement, not shout: One bold cuff balances flowy dresses and kimono layers without clutter.

  • Color story: Sky-blue turquoise meets sunset red and twilight purples—nature’s palette, bottled.

  • Texture play: Bezel-set stones, stamping, and gentle patina create depth that feels collected over miles, not minutes.

  • Year-round: Bare wrists in summer, over knit sleeves in winter—the cuff reads intentional either way.


How to wear it:


  • Pair with a white peasant blouse and denim shorts for a market ramble; add slim silver hoops to keep the focus on the cuff.

  • For “rodeo-ready, city-calm,” try a denim jumpsuit, bandana, and the cuff alone—nothing else needed.

  • Evening layers? Slip the cuff over a slim charcoal turtleneck sleeve, then add a long turquoise pendant to echo the color.


A Four-Season Boho Capsule (Turquoise in Every Weather)


Spring—The Market RamblePeasant blouse, woven tote, ankle boots. Layer a small turquoise charm with a mid-length pendant. Slide on the Heart & Wings Cuff to ground the look.


Summer—Sunset & SideshowMaxi dress or crochet set. Choose one hero: the cuff or a statement necklace. Let warm light play across silver’s soft patina.


Fall—Campfire & CottonwoodsGraphic tee, skirt, soft jacket. Stack smooth silver bangles beside the cuff for a “collected over time” feel.


Winter—Starlight & SweatersTurtleneck + long cardigan. A long turquoise pendant over the knit, Heart & Wings on the wrist—silver against wool is quietly luxurious.


The Art of Layering Without the Tangle


  • Necklace trio: 14–16" silver choker, 18–20" turquoise pendant, 24–28" statement. Let the cuff handle wrist duty.

  • One lead singer: When the cuff is on, keep rings and earrings minimal. If you go heavy on rings, let the cuff rest.

  • Color companions: Mother-of-pearl and spiny-oyster hues warm turquoise; onyx and lapis cool it. Keep the palette to two stones plus silver for harmony.


Care & Keeping (So Your Heirlooms Keep Singing)


  • Keep turquoise and mixed stones away from perfume, lotion, pools, and hot tubs.

  • Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear.

  • Store separately in an anti-tarnish pouch.

  • Polish sterling with a dry cloth only; avoid liquid dips near stones.

  • When traveling, wrap the cuff in cotton and place it on top so it isn’t crushed.


Sourcing With Heart


Ask about stone origins and stabilization (common for durability). Support Native artists when seeking tribal-specific work; learn the story behind the piece. For Western-inspired designs like our Heart & Wings Cuff, look for transparent materials and craftsmanship you can feel in hand.


This is why boho endures: it favors soul over trend, comfort over fuss, and pieces with miles in their gaze. Sterling silver and turquoise aren’t just “on theme”—they’re the steady beat beneath the style.
