December 4th, 2019 Of the Moment, Blue Gem Turquoise

Blue Gem turquoise was discovered in 1934 in Nevada, and quickly became popular for its distinctive deep color, and gem quality stone. One of the most recognizable types of turquoise, it is prized by collectors and jewelers alike.

We are pleased to present this collection, which features early unidentified jewelers alongside known and collected masters of the mid 20th century.

The work in this group represents a variety of styles and techniques, from channel inlay to intricate silverwork and repousse, and serves to highlight the predominate fashions in Native silverwork of the mid 20th century.
