Kingman Turquoise - Arizona

The Kingman Mine, located near Kingman, Arizona, is an active turquoise mine that has been in production since the 1880s, following its discovery by S.A. Colbaugh in the Aztec Mountains. The Colbaugh family continues to mine, process, sort, and distribute Kingman Turquoise. Most Kingman Turquoise is porous and requires processing for jewelry, with only about 3% of the stones being naturally hard enough for direct use. The mine is renowned for its blue matrix turquoise.

About Marilyn Platero's Navajo Pearls

Navajo pearls by Marilyn Platero are a stunning blend of traditional style and contemporary craftsmanship. Known for her impeccable attention to detail, Marilyn strings her pearls on foxtail chain and finishes the ends with soldered clasps for added durability. Her use of machine-made beads provides a uniform and consistent appearance compared to handmade options. The use of machines also allows her to create pearls that range in size from 4mm. Unlike other machine-made beads, Marilyn's have a substantial weight and feel, adding to their quality and appearance. Her beads are oxidized and buffed by hand by Navajo artist Bronson Belone.
