Bisbee Turquoise Earrings



Bisbee Turquoise
The Bisbee mine "the Lavender Pit", near Bisbee, Arizona, is one of the more famous of the American mines because Bisbee turquoise was one of the first put onto the market. The Arizona turquoise mine is part of the Bisbee copper mine (The Copper Queen), the main operation of the site. Bisbee turquoise has developed a reputation as a hard, finely webbed or dendrite, high blue stone, known for its "chocolate brown" matrix. Bisbee Turquoise also comes in a beautiful dark green color. Most of this turquoise has already been mined and what is left is in limbo due to circumstances with the copper mining in the open pit, it is one of the most highly collected stones. Most jewelry being made with this stone today is being made via the orders of the current owners of the mine, the rest (such as ours, which is all hand cut and mounted in silver jewelry by Durango Silver Co.) is found through old "stashes" or collections that have been obtained. Bisbee Turquoise Jewelry is some of the most desired jewelry on the market.

I had a brief, but intense fling with turquoise about a year ago... I hope to find the time to make & design more pieces like this soon.

Mixed Amber Blossom

Mixed Amber Blossom

These images are just some things that caught my eye & I didn't want them to sink into oblivion, they're too beautiful. Most are long gone, but a few are still available in our catalog, viewable at http://www.amberjewelry.com/default.aspx

The names aren't necesarily correct if you end up searching on a term, I'm just adding them on the fly.


About the Mixed Amber Blossom:

We had a handful of these & hope to bring back more this year. A hair tie made of mixed amber petals with rough amber skin or bark still showing in places. A great example of what can happen when the designer "listens" to the amber...

Lady Luck

Lady Luck

I was sitting across the table from my boyfriend in a diner, wearing these. He kept staring at me & finally I said, "Um. What are you looking at?" He smiled & said, "Your earrings are very suggestive..." I said, "Are you taking me to Las Vegas?..."
:) This seriously happened, but I didn't get to go to Vegas (at least not yet!). We just got these in, I've wanted them forever.

Insect Inclusion

Insect Inclusion

This is in many ways, a photo of the exact piece that led Andzia to start seriously collecting amber. It is in her personal collection & I will have to unearth it to reshoot a photo. You can just see the long legs of what looks like a mosquito & the wings here- She intended to have this made into a piece of jewelry, but never did... almost a perfect oval...

Hematite & Lemon Amber

Another glorious amber flower, this one with hematite (iron) in the center, giving it an unusual & striking focal point.

Green & Mat Cuff

Green & Mat Cuff

I love it when pieces are designed around the amber like this one clearly is, & not the other way around- when amber is just an afterthought to a setting. This is one of our highest criteria when we go hunting...

Wonderful, intensely red coral cuff paired with marbled mat amber cabochons. Romantic, wild color- this was a seriously unforgettable design. We hope to find more mixed gemstone pieces like this, but you'll understand if we say amber is still our first love, right?

Coastal Dune Amber Bead Bracelet

Coastal Dune Amber Bead Bracelet

This delivery, blogged about in "The Case of the Missing Amber Necklaces" was so fraught with anxiety & complications that when they finally arrived, I was so wiped out from the holiday season that it was all I could do to get these up on the site. As a result, it strikes me that in the descriptions- the absolute awe I felt at looking at these may have been overlooked because I was scrambling to describe them technically.

Even as a small child, I was grateful that there were museums because I felt like they kept all of "our" things safe. That's how I feel about these as images & as objects, somehow looking at them is deeply nourishing. They're ridiculous, over-the-top beauty- what is it in the human spirit (and in nature) that just craves this kind of splurge, this kind of excess?

Cherry Amber Ring

Cherry Amber Ring

"Rare red amber" from Latvia, perhaps not really cherry as much as a rootbeer color. I always thought there was something a bit wicked about this ring- I think it was up on the site for exactly two days, then it was gone.

Baltic Amber Nuggets

Baltic Amber Nuggets

There's nothing like raw amber just pulled from the sea, lightly tumbled if at all & strung by hand on hemp or light cotton. The original amber necklace of all time, if you will, just as the ancients wore it. In many ways, despite all the serious amber artistry we get to see, I think this is how amber was meant to be, at heart.

Baltic Amber & Gold

Baltic Amber & Gold

I regret the camera resolution I had at the time... amber matched with gold is very carefully selected, & this had a very rosy, warm hue. I'd love to see amber matched with Russian rose gold...

Amber Rose

Amber Rose

Full, softly sculpted amber roses, handmade in Lithuania. We only pick these out by hand & rarely have them in stock- when we do, they go instantly. What we like best about these is how like a real rose they are... they are so specific. Yellow, cognac, dark dark cherry like this. Don't worry, they're on the list. One of our most requested, hardest to obtain designs.

Wrapped Amber Heart

Wrapped Amber Heart

Our bestselling amber heart- I think, because of the dimension, the plumpness & because each is one of a kind, but of a piece. Another piece I love because of the way it allows the amber to rest against one's skin. A thoughtfully done design, eye-pleasing & skin-pleasing. Also a perfect size.

Cotton Candy Bracelet

Description
This bracelet is sparkly, bright and fun! I found these great silver 'bead frames' and matched them up with some bright, sparkly faceted Swarovski Crystals in 3 different colors. The 'bead frame' is a cirlce with holes on the top and bottom so you can insert a pin and spin your bead around within the 'frame'. The 'frames' are also movable parts as they are connected with silver jump rings. Add a bit of fun to your outfit! Sooooo cute!

Two vintage brass hoops which clearly show their age are paired with new and sleek white iridescent glass beads. They are faceted and catch and reflect light as they dangle. The shabby vintage and sleek new put me in the mind of the character Nora Desmond of the movie Sunset Boulevard.
