A testament to natural artistry, this handmade bracelet marries the intense blue of Kingman turquoise with the rustic, scenic beauty of Boulder turquoise. The contrasting stones create a dynamic interplay of color and pattern, reminiscent of desert skies and rugged terrain. Set in finely wrought silver, the bracelet is a statement piece and a celebration of traditional jewelry-making techniques.

The renowned Royston and Pilot Mountain Mines in Nevada are primary sources of Boulder turquoise. Differing from the mine-centric identification of most turquoise types, Boulder turquoise distinguishes itself by its unique turquoise veins gracefully traversing through boulder stones which sets it apart from other turquoise varieties. Aptly referred to as "Ribbon" turquoise, this variety showcases its name by elegantly forming ribbon-like arcs within the rich brown expanse of the boulder stones.

With a history spanning over a millennium, the Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of America's earliest and most prolific sources of turquoise. Discovered by ancient indigenous peoples over 1,000 years ago, Kingman turquoise boasts an enchanting sky-blue hue and offers a wide spectrum of blue variations. The mine’s legacy is intertwined with the history of the American Southwest, and it has served as the largest turquoise supplier in the jewelry trade since the late nineteenth century.
