Coveted for its pristine sky-blue shade devoid of veining or web patterns, Sleeping Beauty turquoise holds a cherished place in the realm of sought-after gemstones. Its historical significance has left an indelible mark on the turquoise narrative, especially since the closure of the Arizona Turquoise Mine in 2012. The mine closure, coupled with the gem's innate allure, has led to a surge in its value. With its pure hue and inherent durability, Sleeping Beauty turquoise stands as a beloved choice among global jewelry artisans and creatives.
Navajo Pearls represent the enduring tradition of crafting sterling silver beads. Crafted by Navajo silversmiths, these silver beads serve as a canvas for artisans' creativity: each bead reflects the unique style and vision of its creator. The design and construction of each, individual bead is a meticulous and time-intensive endeavor that involves the melting, rolling, and precision cutting silver for each individual piece.
