Mary Ann Spencer
Mary Ann Spencer is a master silversmith from the Navajo Nation, based in Gallup, New Mexico. She started crafting jewelry at the young age of 13 and was fortunate to be surrounded by many talented artists during her upbringing, which motivated her to take a jewelry-making class in school. Growing up on the Navajo reservation, Mary Ann developed a unique style that blends traditional designs with contemporary influences. Her creations are distinctive and easily identifiable, with each piece hand-stamped on the back bearing her hallmark, "M. Spencer."
Sonoran Turquoise: Mexico
Sonoran turquoise, mined from the Campitos Mountain near Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. This region produces several distinctive types, including Sonoran Gold, known for its vibrant colors like aqua blue, lime, and two-tone blue and green with a golden-brown matrix; Sonoran Rose, a natural bright blue turquoise; and Sonoran Blue, valued for its hardness, shiny pyrite flakes, and black oxide veins.

Understanding Our Measurements
The 'end to end' length listed for Squash Blossom necklaces is measured from clasp to hook and does not include the 'drop' of the Naja. For a more accurate length reference, model photos are provided. Additionally, Naja measurements are also included to give a complete view of the necklace's dimensions.
