Turquoise Jewelry is treasured for its connection to the American Southwest. Turquoise Jewelry in America dates back to the ancient Pueblo peoples in the American Southwest. Silver was combined with Turquoise by the Navajo in the late 1800’s beginning the creation of Sterling Silver Turquoise Jewelry. The Navajo believe Turquoise represents peace and spiritual clarity. The Apache also hold turquoise in high regard and Apache medicine men and shaman regard turquoise as an absolutely essential material and believe that turquoise improves accuracy for hunters.
