STAMP WORK Navajo silversmiths are renowned for their intricate, detailed stamp work, a style developed over many generations. Stamping is done by hand, and the stamps themselves are oftentimes unique to the artist or are handed down from generations of silversmiths

SONORAN GOLD TURQUOISE Mined in Mexico near the city of Cananea this turquoise is relatively new to the industry. Unlike most turquoise Sonoran Gold is not mined in veins but rather as individual nuggets typically found in clay deposits. Accents of blue and gold against a green background make Sonoran Gold Turquoise a great selection for statement jewelry.
