Named after the town in northwest Arizona where it is mined, stunningly beautiful Kingman turquoise is steeped in history, tradition and creativity. This turquoise showcases the distinctive blues of this gemstone, in graduated strands that make creating elegant jewelry easier than ever. Kingman turquoise is considered the earliest mined or collected turquoise in the Americas. Local tribes of Native Americans in the Southwestern United States are said to have discovered the gemstone veins over 1,000 years ago, making this is the turquoise favored by Huhugam (Hohokam) and Diné (Navajo) jewelry artists.

Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December. It is believed to encourage enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities.
