Sterling Silver Navajo Turquoise Necklace & Earrings

Handcrafted turquoise jewelry from the silver capital of Mexico

Thirty-six hours south from Arizona between Mexico City and Acapulco is a gem of a colonial mining town called Taxco. Taxco was named a Pueblo Mágico (magic town) in 2002, an honor given to towns around the country that offer special experiences because of their natural beauty, cultural and historical richness, and artisan craftsmanship. The artisans in Taxco specialize in handmade pieces that result in strikingly unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry like the collection you see here.
These pieces reflect the Navajo style of artistry, with generous teardrops of genuine turquoise handset in sterling silver.

Found only a few places on Earth, less than 5% of turquoise mined worldwide can be set into jewelry and only about 20 mines in the Southwest supply gem-quality turquoise. Once a thriving industry, many Southwest mines have run dry and are now closed. This is a remarkable opportunity to claim your share of a national geological treasure before it’s gone.
