Casted Silver Talons and Aquamarine Statement Cuff
Casted Silver Talons and Aquamarine Statement Cuff
This aquamarine and sterling silver statement cuff is hand-built by Andrea Li in her Denver studio using lost wax casting — a process where each talon shape was first carved in wax, then cast in solid sterling silver to produce forms that can't be replicated. A square-cut natural, untreated blue aquamarine anchors the center, flanked by gemstone clusters of aquamarine briolettes, moss aquamarine, high-luster pearls, and silver bead accents. Blue zircon rondelles edge the sterling wire frame, adding depth without weight.
The Glacier collection explores the tension between strength and elegance — silver cast into shapes that feel almost organic, paired with stones that shift from ice blue to sea green depending on how the light catches them. This cuff leans into that contrast. The talons read fierce from across the room but the gemstone cluster softens everything when you look closer. It sits flush against the wrist at 7 inches and wears more comfortably than its presence suggests.
Andrea drew on every technique available — fabrication, wire work, casting, and assembly — to build a piece where no single element is recognizable in the final design. Built once and never repeated.
