You’ll sometimes see turquoise sold like a status symbol: mine name first, everything else second. That’s not how I approach it.

For me, origin matters for two reasons: transparency and character.

Transparency: What You’re Actually Buying

When I can share where a stone comes from—and how it’s cut—it builds trust. You deserve to know what you’re investing in, especially for jewelry you’ll wear for years.

Many of the stones we work with come through my husband’s world as a lapidary and mine owner. He supplies stones and inspects every piece for quality before it leaves our studio.

Transparency isn’t about prestige—it’s about honesty and confidence in what you’re choosing.

Character: Different Regions, Different Vibes

Different mines and regions can produce varying color ranges and matrix styles. That doesn’t make one “better.” It just means each stone has its own fingerprint.

If you love:

• Clean, open-sky stones → you might gravitate toward minimal matrix

• Stormy, webbed stones → you might enjoy high-contrast patterns

• Earthy greens → you might favor stones with more mineral influence

Every origin tells a subtle story through tone, veining, and personality.

My Promise on “Story”

I’ll never use origin as a gimmick. When I share it, it’s because it’s true, relevant, and helps you feel confident in your choice.

Origin is about trust, transparency, and honoring the character of the stone—not status.
