Nacozari turquoise was mined in Mexico southwest of Bisbee, AZ. It
is treasured for it's beautiful color and relative lack of matrix. The
Nacozari mine was worked only for a couple of years. This means there
is a finite supply of this turquoise. Nacozari turquoise is considered
to be
very fine turquoise.
Lost wax casting is an ancient method of casting silver and allows
intricate details to be captured in the final piece.
Thai Hill Tribe Silver has a very high silver content
(97-99%)
and is
handcrafted by silversmiths in the hills of Northern Thailand using
traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation.
Bali Sterling silver is handcrafted by silversmiths in Indonesia and is
usually
very detailed and intricate.
