A Nacozari turquoise statement ring in Navajo sterling silver. Rare Sonoran stone with classic blue color and natural matrix.
Nacozari turquoise is mined in the Sonoran region of northern Mexico and shows the kind of bright sky-blue color collectors associate with classic Southwestern jewelry. Greg cut this stone in our own shop, and I commissioned Navajo silversmith P. Yazzie to build the ring around it. The Sonoran Sky presents that rare stone in a clean Navajo sterling setting that lets the color speak.

Why this costs less than a gallery. A gallery buys a piece like this already finished and marks it up. I start a step earlier. The stone was cut in our own shop, the silverwork was commissioned straight from P. Yazzie, and it comes to you from me. Nobody in the middle. How gallery pricing works

Provenance
Silverwork handmade by P. Yazzie, Navajo silversmith, commissioned by Wildflower. The Nacozari turquoise was cut in our own shop. Wildflower keeps maker documentation on file for every piece we attribute to a Native artist, and we are glad to share it on request. We only make that attribution where we can back it up. Everything else in the shop is described as what it is: handcrafted, artisan-made, or made in our own studio.
