Turquoise and old pawn jewelry

What is turquoise?

Turquoise is an opaque blue green gemstone originating from places like Iran, Egypt, northwest china and most commonly Mexico. It is a rare stone full of different story’s and history’s.

Why is it so special?

sometimes the turquoise is special based on the stone itself or maybe based off the piece. Like this squash blossom to the right is a Native American piece of sterling silver and Mexican turquoise making it an important part of the family and culture it brings from its past. While some types of turquoise are extremely special such as sleeping beauty turquoise which is no longer being mined. It was previously mined in Arizona US but there is no more of it. These pieces are rare and highly sought after .

How we treat our turquoise pieces

We are known to sell all of our jewelry by weight, this is a great way for our company because we are able to interact with you all. With the turquoise being rare and special pieces our pricing can differ from piece to piece. The majority of our basic turquoise is still sold by weight although when a collection comes in with a higher value we will price the product in advance.
