Turquoise Rings Are Timeless
The Turquoise Ring is priceless and has been considered high fashion since the time of the Pharoahs. Today the version of the Turquoise ring that is popular is the large dinner ring. Many famous people including Movie Stars, Musicians, and others are wearing large sterling silver dinner rings or large 14k gold Turquoise rings. During the times of the Pharoahs, most Turquoise Rings were made from yellow gold. During the early years of the popularity of the Turquoise Ring most of the rings were made with light blue or “Robin’s Egg” blue Turquoise. This color of Turquoise, with not matrix or patterning was considered to be the highest grade. Today Turquoise Rings are made with all types of Turquoise from lime green to deep blue Turquoise as used in Bisbee Turquoise Rings.

Native American Turquoise Jewelry
Dec 30th
Native American Turquoise Jewelry
Native American Turquoise Jewelry is an American heritage that began around 1865 when a Navajo Blacksmith by the name of Atsidi Sani learned how to work with Silver from the Spaniards. It is believed that Atsidi Sani incorporated Turquoise into his Silver Jewelry around 1870 as Turquoise Jewelry was already being made into adornments by the Santo Domingo Indians and traded to the Navajos and it was very important to the Navajo.
Durango Silver Company has just completed two great new informational page on Native American Turquoise Jewelry that you are certain to appreciate, check them out!
Native American Turquoise Jewelry has developed substantially in the last 150 years as the Native American Indians of the Southwest have been very prolific in creating Native American Turquoise Jewelry and the market for their Jewelry has been nothing short of remarkable.
Quality Native American Turquoise Jewelry
The quality of Native American Turquoise Jewelry has never been better than it is today. Native American Silver and Goldsmiths have made unbelievable progress in the development of their trade due to modern tools, demand for quality by the buyers and their own desires to be the best in their trade.
Native American Turquoise Jewelry – The Turquoise
The Turquoise in Native American Turquoise Jewelry is an important discussion! There were absolutely high times for the production of quality Turquoise which was approximately 1930 – 1980. Native American Turquoise Jewelry had become a major market which encouraged individuals to hunt for new Turquoise deposits in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, they did and they found many wonderful Turquoise deposits. The Native American Turquoise Jewelry market grew exponentially from 1930 to date but many changes have come, the biggest was the Chinese Turquoise entering into the marketplace. This has had a major impact as most of the Native American Turquoise Jewelry you see today has Chinese Turquoise in it. The other fact is that the quality of Chinese Turquoise has seriously taken a dive for the worst and now they are even making Turquoise from cement! At the 2011 Tucson Gem Show the word from the Chinese Turquoise dealers was that the Chinese government had put a 3-5 year moratorium on the mining of Turquoise.
In addition, due to the tough mining policies of the U.S. government, Turquoise mining in the U.S. has fallen to an all time low. The once stock piles of authentic Turquoise are diminishing quickly. Quality Native American Turquoise Jewelry depends on high quality authentic Turquoise and we can see trouble coming soon.
There is no question that high quality Native American Turquoise Jewelry with high quality natural authentic Turquoise is about to become very valuable and highly collectible by the wealthy. Silver and Gold have sky rocketed, Turquoise is sky rocketing unbelievably and the desire for handmade products and quality American made products is on the rise.
There are very few Native American Turquoise Jewelry dealers that focus on authentic American Turquoise as most are trying to compete with the China syndrome. Check out Durango Silver Company as well as their Turquoise Jewelry Learning Center, they are totally dedicated to quality and authenticity as well as being a family owned business located in the heart of Turquoise Country – Durango, Colorado USA and specifically deal in quality Native American Turquoise Jewelry.

Zuni Petit Point Jewelry
Zuni Native American jewelry is some of the most famous Native American jewelry worldwide. Zuni Petit Point jewelry or Zuni Petite Point Jewelry is some of the jewelry that made the Zuni Indians famous jewelers. Zuni Indians are known for their intricate work and attention to detail, Zuni Petit Point Jewelry is definately a good example of this.
Indians in the Southwest who are especially known for their jewelry are the Zuni, Hopi, and Navajo peoples. The Zuni are known for their very intricate stonework and almost never do plain silver jewelry. The most traditional Zuni style of jewelry is called petit point, which can be identified by tiny turquoise stones each supported in its own bezel, or metal “sleeve.” It is extremely time-consuming work and is very delicate in appearance. The Zunis are known for using sterling silver and natural turquoise from the Sleeping Beauty Mine. The work is priced by the amount of handiwork, not the weight of the silver or the value of the turquoise.
Antique Zuni Petit Point Jewelry
Zuni Petit point Jewelry began around 1920-1930 and was a unique form of Turquoise Jewelry created by the Zuni Indians. A Petit Point stone is a tiny round, oval, rectangle, pear or square shaped stone hand cut by a Zuni Indian Lapidarist. Zuni Petit Point Jewelry is unique to the Zuni Indian Artisans and not made anywhere else in the world. It is special Jewelry that is impressive wearable art. The Zuni’s make Petit Point Rings, Earrings, Bracelets, Pendants, Necklace Sets and more.
Modern Zuni Petit Point Jewelry
The Zuni Indian reservation is along the western of New Mexico near the border of Arizona . The Zuni Indians and their ancestors have been making jewelry for over 1,000 years. The first Zuni Indian to learn to work with silver was Lanyade around 1872 learning from the Navajo. Many of the designs of Zuni Indian jewelry have not changed over the years. Zuni Indians are known for their intricate stone cutting: petit point, needle point, inlay and detailed stone carvings known as fetishes.
Needle point -Turquoise cut in long narrow or elongated stones set in delicate bezels is called needle point. Turquoise jewelry with pear shape cut gems is known as petite point. Gems that have been cut and tightly set and inlaid into silver jewelry is known as “inlay”. This is a skill of intricate small stonework especially with pieces with smaller tightly fitting gems and settings.
Petit point – Turquoise or small stones are cut into egg-shape, oval or pear-shape gems set clusters or rows with stones and settings symmetrical.
Inlay – this technique predates European arrival and is small stones or shell cut and set into channels of silver or mosaic inlaid together and set into jewelry. The inlay can be flat, raised, etched or sculpted.
Today Zuni Needle Point or Zuni Petit Point Jewelry is still very popular and Zuni Petit Point Jewelry really hasn’t changed much. Over the years the other styles of Zuni Jewelry has changed a lot, however Zuni Petit Point Jewelry has stayed classic and true to it’s self.
Thank you for reading our brief Turquoise News about Zuni Petit Point Jewelry.

The Squash Blossom Necklace is a Native American Indian Classic
Jul 5th
If you’re a jewelry fan, you probably like turquoise. If you’re attracted to cultural jewelry, you probably like Native American designs.
If you live in–or have the pleasure of visiting — America’s Southwest, you will undoubtedly encounter Native American turquoise jewelry. If any of those things are true for you, then I predict you will fall in love with the Squash Blossom Necklace.
What is a squash blossom necklace?
Native American Indians create jewelry that has a certain look. Designs are typically made with turquoise and silver. Turquoise cabochons that are bezel-set in silver make it into bracelets, conchos, earrings, and necklaces.
A necklace fashioned with certain elements of a squash plant flower is a Squash Blossom Necklace. Whether the necklace resembles the flower is in the eye of the beholder. See a photo comparison here and decide for yourself.
Elements of the squash blossom design
The naja, a Navajo word meaning ‘crescent,’ is an incomplete circle serving as a pendant in the necklace. The curved, open design may have been influenced by the horse bridles of Spaniards who occupied the Southwest, who in turn might have been influenced by early Moorish designs. It is important to note that the open pendant is not the ‘squash blossom’ part of the design.
The squash blossom comes in on the necklace part of the necklace, specifically in the beads that make up the rest of the piece. The ‘bead’ is turquoise, more correctly described as a turquoise cabochon (or cab) in a bezel setting.
Soldered onto one side of each cab are three separate pieces of silver, serving as the petals of the blossom. This is where creativity enters the design of each ‘blossom’ bead. The silver petals may be small or long and thin, wispy or substantial, but always three silver petals will emanate from each turquoise bead.
Completing the blossom on the opposite side is a shank. The shank is drilled, forming a hole through which the blossom beads are strung to form a necklace. Often, the blossom bead has no shank, the hole for stringing being drilled right through the turquoise bead or cab.
Creative Variety
No squash blossom necklace is like any other. Every squash blossom necklace is unique and made by hand by a Native American Indian of Navajo, Zuni, or Pueblo descent.
Stones used are authentic turquoise of the many mined varieties of turquoise there are in the Southwest, including Sleeping Beauty, Bisbee, Royston, Broken Arrow, and many, many others.
Sterling silver is the precious metal of choice. The finished jewelry is usually stamped as such (with ’925′ or ‘sterling’) including the initials of the artist. When buying such a piece, be sure to ask what the initials stand for, so that you know the full name of the Native American creator of your splendid Squash Blossom Necklace.

Designer Advises Jewelers to Use White Turquoise
Jun 30th
I’m a jewelry designer. My designs made with stones of white turquoise fly out of the galleries of the Southwest. The stone makes for incredibly attractive necklaces, earrings, and rings and more. White Turquoise is wonderful to work with as it goes with anything. Pieces fashioned from the stone sell so well the ink on the pricetag doesn’t dry. Jewelry makers would do well to stoke their creations with the stone, but beware when buying supply: Not all that is white stone with a black matrix is white turquoise.White turquoise is a stone that can be mistaken for howlite or magnesite. Here’s what I know about the difference between them.
The real white turquoise is not turquoise-colored at all but a white stone with a black matrix. I like to think white turquoise is turquoise before it turned blue and absorbed all that copper over the eons of geologic time. Chemically speaking, turquoise is CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8.4H2O. Understandably speaking, turquoise is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum, and gets its familiar blue color from the copper. So, if somebody dug up the turquoise before the copper settled in, it would be colorless, hence white turquoise. Right?
White Turquoise from the Tortoise Turquoise mine in Nevada
The real white turquoise is from the Dry Creek Mine in Nevada. Discovered on the Shoshone Indian Reservation in the 1990s, the tribes there didn’t make much jewelry from the white turquoise found litereally in their backyards. The Navajo and Zuni, being master crafters of turquoise jewelry, put the white turquoise to work in their creations much the same as their turquoise-colored turquoise. They called the white variety “sacred buffalo turquoise” because it was as rare as a white buffalo. Or as rare as a plain buffalo for that matter, because as far as I know, there hasn’t been a buffalo sighted in the Navajo Nation for decades. But what do I know.
Howlite is also a white stone with a black matrix. A calcium borosilicate hydroxide, chemically it is Ca2B5SiO9(OH)5. And how did howlite get its name? After Henry, the Nova Scotian geologist, that’s Henry How. Howlite is the white stone often dyed blue and “substituted for turquoise by unscrupulous jewelry dealers” (according to Charlotte Kuchinsky in her AC article, “Howlite: Uncovering the Duality of the Gemstone“). So, if howlite looks like turquoise before the techs turned it blue in the lab, maybe howlite is the stuff in the ground that’s turquoise before copper turned it blue. No. You don’t need to know any chemistry to see that the chemical formulae for turquoise and howlite are sufficiently different, with or without the copper (Cu), to be very different rocks from one another.Magnesite is yet another white stone with a black matrix. A carbonate of magnesium, magnesite is MgCO3, and is named after, well, magnesium the element. And the only thing it has in common with white turquoise and howlite is that it is yet another white stone with a black matrix.
Wild Horse from Arizona, USA
So where’s all that difference between the fakes and the real thing? The fact is that they are all beautiful white stones with a black matrix and none of them are fakes for a white stone with a black matrix. What you call them may be the same or may be different. Call them what you will. Call them by whatever the seller said they were. The fact is you’ll never know if they’re different from what somebody says they are or what you bought them as. Oh, you can pulverize your necklace and put it through an elemental analysis to know whether you have white turquoise, howlite, or magnesite. For myself, I’d rather have the necklace and enjoy it for the beauty I bought it for.
I do know that the white turquoise I have as my jewelry supply was sold to me as white turquoise. I do not know what ground, mine, or country it came from before it was sold to me. And I didn’t think of asking, being the trusting soul that I am. The stones were gorgeous, the white ones in a black matrix, and I paid a fair price for the rather ample supply I purchased (although I paid an unfair price for the airline’s over-limit weight charges to get it on the plane).
Lovely to look at and interesting to wear, all of them–white turquoise, howlite, and magnesite– were created equal in the eyes of Mother Earth and destined to display their majesty through the artistry of jewelers who see lovely white stones with a black matrix and call them beautiful.

Learn A Little About Green Turquoise Jewelry
Green is the currently fashionable color for fine jewelry and fashionable jewelry accessories. Green is the color; turquoise is the stone. Maybe. For us Turquoise fans it is definately Green Turquoise.
Natural green turquoise occurs in colors ranging from blue to green, often with a black matrix or black veining. A known natural green turquoise is Broken Arrow turquoise, sourced from the Otteson family’s Nevada mine. It’s different from other domestic turquoise sources in that the turquoise isn’t turquoise-colored, it’s green.
Some green turquoise gets its green from color treatments of howlite and magnesite, both white stones with a black matrix. In their natural state, howlite and magnesite closely resemble authentic white turquoise. When dyed, the stones take on a green color that is indistinguishable from natural green turquoise color by the casual observer. To a professional natural green Turquoise is obviously different looking from the colored product of synthetic green Turquoise jewelry.
There are tests to determine whether green turquoise is natural or dyed. The tests, however, are destructive. Whether green turquoise is natural or color treated, the stones are interesting natural lapidary sources for turquoise jewelry.
The necklace of green turquoise shown in the photo is fashioned from stones sold as ‘green turquoise.’ It is at the discretion of viewers to decide whether the green color is real or fashioned from alternative stones and man-made treatments, or whether the source of the green even matters. For this jewelry designer and gemstone writer, it’s about the design. I like the lovely green color however it got there! Do you?

American Turquoise Jewelry can compete in global trade
The United States economy has slowed dramatically despite what government reports and president Obama claims. We must realize they do need to be optimistic or we would be in a hell of a state. As we have passed the 15,000,000,000,000.00 point we can no longer even pay the interest on the money we have borrowed from the world and soon we will lose possession of the world bank. There is no doubt, we are in a very serious situation that has some very interesting implications – the U.S. is the peace keepers of the world and what will the world do with out the U.S. to come to their rescue? Anyway, as individual Americans we must now be aggressive for ourselves and start reaching out to find our own way to stay afloat in these trying times that are upon us now and the uncertainty of tomorrow.
Turquoise and Turquoise Jewelry is popular in many parts of the world, did you know it was first discovered over 7,000 years ago in Egypt? There are examples of Turquoise Jewelry are on display in the Cairo Museum that have been carbon dated back to 5500 B.C. People in many areas of the world have worn Turquoise for thousands of years and still love it as much as they alway have.
Different cultures around the world do not adorn themselves as lavishly as Americans and Tibetans do, however, there is a great market out there for American Turquoise and American Turquoise Jewelry as American Turquoise is some of the finest in the world and the world loves American Turquoise.
As the American market has slowed down and consumers are hanging on tight to their wallets, other economies around the globe are doing quite well and business is as usual. The time is upon us to look to the world and find new places to sell our goods. We must re-evaluate what type of Jewelry will be appropriate to market than design and develop new Jewelry styles that will fit into their lifestyles.
It would be intelligent for American business to take control of their own destiny and seek the way for the future well-being of their own businesses. It would not be intelligent to sit back and watch your business fall deeper and deeper into debt and disaster. Lets get busy and market ourselves to the world!
