Native American Bracelet Kingman Turquoise Link
This turquoise link bracelet can only accurately be described as a stunningly beautiful jewelry piece! It is wonderful. It has five natural stones of Kingman (mine) turquoise, which was taken out of a private collection, and commissioned for use in this lovely bracelet. The silverwork comprising each bezel is superb, with its design possessing the quality to reflect light, accenting each turquoise stone. The Kingman turquoise is classic in hue, boasting deep and rich blues, with attractive matrix, even reaching "stormy" on a couple of stones. Blue turquoise such as this occurs as a result of the presence of copper in the earth (green-hued turquoise more a result of a higher iron content), and these natural, gem-quality turquoise stones possess that mesmerizing "opaque translucence" which captures your soul (yes, your soul!). Quality turquoise as this is becoming more rare, and therefore, more expensive. Owning heirloom-quality jewelry pieces of this caliber...is simply worth it.
(note the image of the stone which has metal in the stone (iron pyrite) as part of its matrix - fantastic!)
