Melt 1 Series #7 | Kingman Turquoise
Green blue Kingman Turquoise in a melting silver pendant. Brown matrix at the side of the stone, and streaming and twisting through the turquoise’s pure greenish blue finish. Open back allowing for more stone visibility and connection.
The Kingman turquoise mine, operated by the Colbaugh family in Arizona, is the only active source of turquoise in the United States. Historical evidence indicates turquoise mining in the region as far back as 600CE, with ancient tools unearthed in 1962.
Sand casting is a very old method of casting using special sand, and a shaped object to make jewelry. The artist creates a carved form to create an impression in the sand, the form is then removed to create a hollow and metal is then poured in, creating a one of a kind piece of jewellery with unique textures.
