Spring Summer Collection | Four Corners USA OnLine

Posted by Four Corners USA OnLine on 13th Apr 2014

Oh...I see a lot of separation anxiety in my future!

It is always wonderful to anticipate new jewelry creations and this Spring's Collection did not disappoint. Many months in the making but so worth the wait.

You would think after many years of looking, buying, exhibiting Native American Jewelry I would be over the excitement and need to see and touch everything...but you would be wrong (I know you know exactly what I mean). So I disguise that need to 'touch' as 'inspecting' for our Customers as we always want to bring you the finest quality and value in American Artisan Jewelry and admittedly, I fall in love all over again.

The Dry Creek Turquoise rough stone provided an incredible selection of colors from soft, pale to saturated blues and blue/grays as well as mint/seafoam hues.

We have an exceptional collection of Dry Creek Turquoise Earrings in such a variety of styles and colors and the Dry Creek Turquoise Rings ...well, words not really necessary.

Our featured Navajo Silversmith for this Dry Creek Turquoise Ring Collection is Thomas Francisco showcasing an incredible diversity in Jewelry Making from heavier concho style stamped settings (below) to delicate precision cuts as shown here to the left.

We are diligent in taking our photographs to ensure we get the best possible color accuracy (although monitors may vary) and you will sometimes see our Dry Creek Turquoise and Sacred White Buffalo Turquoise on a variety of backgrounds for that reason. The variance in backgrounds is not to enhance the look of these stones but rather to provide accuracy in tone and hue.

Jewelry Sets just like Earrings are an absolute treasure to find as the lapidary needs enough of the same rough stone to accomplish the pieces needed for the entire set. Cutting stones is 'like a box of chocolates', the cutter never really knows what the end result will be until they are way into the process not to mention the concern of fracture during the entire ordeal...after all, waste is not an option.

We offer two Dry Creek Jewelry Sets in our Collection by Larry Moses Yazzie where he showcases his incredible jewelry making talents with fine saw cuts exemplifying the character of the stones in each.

The two Sets might as well be polar opposites with the more petite set to the left offering clearer, deeper tone Dry Creek Turquoise Stones with minimal matrix. They are cut in a Tear Drop shape and delicately etched in fine cut silver...very feminine.

The Dry Creek Turquoise Jewelry Set below offers a bolder cut of larger elongated oval stones with heavier matrix creating a whirlwind of color variation.
