Thumbnail Filmstrip of Native American Jewelry Turquoise Sterling Silver Ring Images
Genuine Chinese Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Ring. Created by Navajo Artist Lloyd Martinez. Signed by the Artist. Chinese turquoise ranges all across the spectrum from deep greens to dark blues and even yellows. The best and most collectible material is dark blue with excellent spider-webbing. Most of the matrix is dark brown or black. Today, most of the turquoise produced in China comes from the Ma'anshan and Hubei mines. The Hubei province includes the Yungai (also known as Cloud Mountain) and the Zhuxi mines. Unlike American turquoise which is usually identified by the specific mine, Chinese turquoise has historically simply been referred to as "Chinese turquoise", even though there are several different areas that produce the stone. Turquoise has been mined in China for over 2000 years, evidenced by its use in many pieces of art and carvings from some of the earliest dynasties.

My wife and I are very pleased with the turquoise pendant!
It's beautifully hand crafted. It blends in perfectly with her Navajo jewelry.

I have made many purchases from Treasures of the Southwest over the years and have loved every one of them and always get compliments when I wear them, the latest cross is no exception, it is Beautiful!

I absolutely love this Calvin Begay piece. I had seen a woman in Santa Fe wearing a similar piece (same shape) by Calvin Begay and I coveted it. I was excited when my Google search found Treasures of the Southwest and their vast catalogue of Calvin’s jewelry. Much to my delight, they had this beautiful piece. In addition to the unique shape, I love the colors as they are different than my other Southwest pieces.
Donna was wonderful to work with and very accommodating.
