The stones have cracks but it was a perfect fit and I really just wanted something sturdy to wear continuously (except the shower of course) and not have to worry about messing up something that cost a lot. It’s really thick and the stones are tight in there. I think they might have actually glued them in there but it was only $100 
Not much to find on the maker though.

I really like it! Kinda old school which I am drawn to. I wouldn’t worry about the cracks. I have several pieces with cracked stones (even my fav cuff), and none have fallen out. Although I do have a ring that has chipped away at the side, but it didn’t even have a visible crack.

I think it’s Louise Platero. Very desirable if it is. Sure resembles similar items. Congrats on a bargain @CyanideRose18 . I would squeeze some clear glue or epoxy in the crack and wipe away the excess with acetone. Possibly Morenci and worth hundreds.

Thanks Ziacat, that’s good to know. It’s rare for me to find a cuff that actually fits. I lost weight and my favorite one is now too big, but I still can’t part with it. I love the big turquoise nuggets. Plus it might fit again after thanksgiving

Thanks so much Steve, I will check her out. There were a bunch of silversmiths with that name. The other was Lena I think but I believe her stuff is fairly recent. I was watching a Durango silver video a little while ago and the dad added a little glue to keep the stone in place. I may have to get some of that for sure
