Genuine Nevada Royston turquoise necklace

I work with lots of genuine turquoise and I love each one of them. They’re all beautiful with their own unique characteristics. There are those stones that come around, however, that take your breathe away. This beauty is one of the stones. It’s a Royston turquoise from Nevada. This turquoise is 59 carats. When I decided to work with it I took it and kept in my eyesight for two weeks until I knew what I wanted to do. No fluff needed around this one. It stands alone and speaks for itself. It found a home quickly and I’m thrilled it will be going to someone who appreciates these stones as much as I do. 🙂

Kingman turquoise necklace

When I find genuine turquoise from any mine that has some orange in the matrix I usually nab it. I just adore the orange against the blue/green of the stone. It’s a perfect compliment.

Damele ring

Oooh….. a little Damele custom order for a client. It’s so pretty. I just bought of huge amount of Damele in raw form. It will be cut and polished soon by a lapidary artist. The mine has been closed so we wanted some of it before it gets really hard to find.

If your looking for turquoise go for genuine turquoise. Ask lots of questions. There’s no comparison to the real deal.
