Details

RAINDROPS are seen frequently throughout Native American jewelry. Sterling silver drops or "raindrops" are a traditional design element. They can be smooth and highly polished or they can be starlike and oxidized.

KINGMAN TURQUOISE is considered to be one of the classic and more easily recognizable American turquoise, Kingman Turquoise was first mined by Native Americans as early as 600 A.D. This Arizona turquoise rose to fame due to its production of nuggets - which few mines produce. Waterweb Kingman is a high-grade stone with a tight, beautiful matrix and is highly prized and sought after by collectors worldwide.
