Happy Friday from Italy!! One of the most popular stones from the Turquoise Trunk Show last month has become a rising star among gemstone enthusiasts ... Mohave Turquoise. A fusion of genuine stones ...Kingman Turquoise & Spiny Oyster, both are integrated into a creative, man-made composite. This stunning combination blends these very complementary naturally occurring materials together into an amalgamation that normally would not occur, as Turquoise forms on land, and the Spiny Oyster in the sea.

Normally I am a complete purist with gemstones. I want them mined AS is, cut, and polished, set and voila! However, Mohave I will make an exception due to the naturally occurring beauty in each material. Man is still involved ...as we mine, cut and polish, but in this particular stone, we also combine. With this much coolness, I'm ok with that extra step in the "mine to gemstone" process. I found these gorgeous little "mohavies" and decided they had to be our Seasonal Fall Nini Necklace ...and what a fun piece it is!! Enjoy.
