These perfectly matched pair of Blue Diamond turquoise stones were cut by the late great Tony Cotner. Tony owned the Damele and Paiute mines in central Nevada and was constantly trading for high-grade material to burnish his lapidary skills during the winter months. We passed the stones on to Will Denetdale who set them in a traditional style. Will used just enough silver and stamp-work to highlight the turquoise, but not so much that it detracts from the unique beauty of the stones.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every purchase.

When and how the Navajo acquired the art of working metals is unknown but there are reasons for supposing that it was introduced among them, or at least more developed and improved upon by them, since the time they have occupied their present country?
