Kingman Turquoise, Abalone Shell & Black Onyx Sterling Silver Pendant FJP2055

KINGMAN TURQUOISE is considered to be one of the classic and more easily recognizable American Turquoises, 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 high-grade stone with a tight, beautiful matrix and is highly prized and sought after by collectors worldwide.

ABALONE Abalone shell has been used by Native Americans since ancient times.  Early Zuni jewelry will feature abalone in delicate inlay work, and it is thought to be one of the first materials used in inlay work in the Southwestern USA. Each piece of abalone in jewelry is unique. Harvested off the coasts of Mexico and the USA, abalone can be used in unusual and organic shapes or cut into cabochons. Dress it up with faceted stones, or stay casual and chic in silver. A ‘feel good’ gift from the sea, abalone complements every collection.

ONYX  has long been used for carving and jewelry. Onyx is a favored stone often seen in Native American inlay work, or as cabochons or beads.
