Twisted sterling rope detailing, hand-applied silver accents, and the bold sterling bail frame the stone beautifully while adding depth and classic Southwestern character.

Stone & Material Notes:

Natural stones may display matrix, color variation, inclusions, or natural surface characteristics formed during their creation. These features are part of the individuality of genuine stones and are visible in the photos.

Please note the beautiful natural variation within the Sonoran Gold turquoise stone, including soft green and golden tones that are part of the stone’s unique character.

Subtle tool marks or oxidation variations may be present and are part of the handcrafted sterling character.

These pieces were sourced prior to recent increases in sterling silver pricing and turquoise demand. Comparable replacement pieces may retail at higher current market prices due to rising material and sourcing costs.
