That’s what I thought also, although I never was really sure what differentiated regular spider web from birdseye. I guess it looks like birds eyes 
or maybe the corn 
The shape of the webbing in my stone does look like tiny little pieces of corn 
Back to the adjustable band…here is the Rodney Coriz ring I nearly bought. If it had been a wee bit smaller (the square shape of it was so large I was really afraid it was going to bang it on things), or I hadn’t found the Lovato cuff, it probably would have come home with me. I loved the design, and that adjustable shank was a bonus.
These articles seem to use the terms waterweb, spider web, and bird’s eye interchangeably, so maybe it’s all different names for the basic idea of spider webbing. I think of the pieces below as being bucketed into different descriptions even if its technically “spiderweb” overall.
I tend to call this “spiderweb”:
…while this seems like what I’d describe as water web:
This is matrix:
Here’s where I can see it going several ways. I always called these (and was identified by others as) birds eye, but doesn’t seem so different than spiderweb.
I think this one is a bit of a hybrid of waterweb with matrix, and maybe even a bit of birds eye!
Clear as mud, right? 
And not to burst bubbles but IMHO these names were likely “invented” as marketing tools and to inflate desirability and most of all, prices. Taking nothing from the attractiveness of the stones, which sounds better: washed out color matrix or “waterweb”. Perception is reality for most people.
I think you’re right in that there may not be a specific geological term for these things, and they may have been invented as a descriptive devices. But I do think “spider webbing” (hmmm… don’t know if that’s an actual term) would affect the price no matter what it was called, because it is more rare than generic matrix. And if I had been the one to discover spider web, I think I would have called it that, cuz that’s sure what it looks like. I mean if I want to tell you what my turquoise stone looks like, I’m going to pick a word that’s descriptive. And it’s definitely quicker to say waterweb then “washed out color matrix.”
No bubbles burst here, @StevesTrail . 
It’s all different words for matrix, you are right!
Agree with @Ziacat…spiderwebbing, however you want to call it, is more valuable in most cases (for those who grade matrix…pure-color with no matrix is arguably equally, if not more, valuable) because the even-ness of that pattern is rarer.
And I would add that I think the value of pure blue turquoise with no matrix is higher in other countries as versus here in the US.
@Stracci 
. Thank you! Hahaha!!
It’s always a treat to see your work. My brother lived in Bisbee for years but never bought anything. Thanks for sharing.
I had this thin cuff bracelet and I had this piece of Royston, so I stuck them together.
I was seeing lots of bracelets in this style on Instagram, so I figured I’d make one.
Beautiful clean work as usual, @Stracci! Very elegant.
Beautifully created cuff @Stracci. The “texture” of the cuff is a neat contrast to the smoothness of that pretty Royston cab. It looks wonderful on your wrist ~ enjoy wearing it!
There you go again with another well made piece. 
Love it, as usual! I’ve seen that style too; yours looks delicate, but with a visual punch. Beautiful!
Thanks Mike! The hardest part is joining the braid so it looks seamless.
Thanks! I am enjoying it.
I was afraid it would flop and turn from the weight of the stone, but that isn’t happening.
Thanks Steve! I didn’t really like the plain cuff, as it really needed something.
I’m happy with the result.
Thanks, Zia!
I was looking for similar styles at Indian Market, but I didn’t see any that I really liked.
I knew I’d never wear that cuff the way it was, anyway. I don’t like stacking bracelets, because they move and hit together. Maybe it’s a sensory issue for me…
Hadn’t seen you for a bit on here, but you were making gorgeous jewelry
