I have a friend who may be interested in parting with this cuff. I’m curious who the “circle I” hallmark may be attributed to. Also we are debating whether the red stones are coral or jasper (I’m thinking not coral). Any insights into this piece would greatly be appreciated!

is the claw real or plastic?

At first glance I thought spiny oyster, but they don’t look quite right for that.

I’m sorry, I can’t help you with the hallmark. The turquoise is from Arizona, most likely Sleeping Beauty. The claw appears to be real and the red stones I think are Thulite or possibly even ruby.

It looks like apple coral. Nice cuff.

That makes sense; I forgot I have a ring with apple coral that looks a lot like those stones.

@Islandmomma Apple coral…I’ve never even heard of that before. Thank you, I’ll look into it!
Thank you @Ziacat . I saw that as well. I was hoping maybe someone out there with books might have more definitive scoopage.

@newpawn I’m not sure on the talon/claw, but if you enlarge the picture, it does have grainy textured lines. I would hope that would rule out plastic.
@Jason , what would be a fair asking price for something like this? I’m guessing it’s a 70s piece based on the style???
