This Harcross turquoise necklace by Jesse Robbins showcases the many colors this mine offers. “Lately, exceptional green turquoise has become rarer to source, making this Harcross a nice treat to work with for jewelry making,” says the artist. In hardness, color and quality, Robbins ranks Harcross among his favorite turquoise. Robbins believes that sometimes one of the most excellent ways to showcase the beauty a turquoise mine offers is to turn the stone into a classic heishi necklace.

This Zuni longhorn cuff was created during a series of collaborative pieces at Tanner’s Indian Arts in 2020. “We pulled vintage, unset pieces and gave them to contemporary talented artists along with choice, high-grade materials to complete these pieces,” says co-owner Emerald Tanner.
