The Distinctive Beauty of Tyrone Turquoise
Tyrone Turquoise stands among the most coveted American turquoise varieties, known for its unique blue-green hues and characteristic golden to dark brown matrix patterns. Sourced from the Tyrone Copper Mine in southwestern New Mexico, this remarkable stone has become increasingly scarce since the mine's closure. Genuine Tyrone Turquoise is now a rare find, prized by collectors and enthusiasts for its exceptional quality and distinctive character.
In my Tyrone Turquoise collection, I pair these exceptional stones with handcrafted sterling silver settings that respect their natural beauty while bringing a contemporary sensibility to each piece. My work balances traditional silversmithing techniques with design elements that set these pieces apart from typical southwestern jewelry. By incorporating subtle art nouveau influences and refined details, I create settings that enhance rather than overwhelm the stone's innate beauty.
The limited availability of authentic Tyrone Turquoise makes each piece in this collection significant—not just as jewelry, but as a preserved piece of American gemstone heritage. I carefully select each stone for its color, pattern, and integrity before transforming it into a wearable piece of art in my Colorado studio. Through meticulous crafting, I create rings, pendants, earrings, and statement pieces that showcase both the natural splendor of the turquoise and my dedication to exceptional craftsmanship.
Explore my Tyrone Turquoise collection to discover how this treasured New Mexico stone can bring its distinctive blue-green beauty to your jewelry collection through designs that honor its heritage while offering a fresh, contemporary perspective.
