EXCLUSIVELY OURS! Sterling Silver Rope and Filigree Cross Lever Back Dangle Earrings
As much as we adore the colors of vibrant gemstones here at American West Jewelry, we know that you may have some gift recipients with more classic taste. These timeless fashionistas may prefer versatile Silver essentials that can easily be mixed and matched to accent their everyday looks. These cross earrings are the perfect gift for the classic crowd, particularly those who value meaningful gifts that can be thoughtfully passed down for generations to come. If your recipient is willing to explore looks with just a small pop of color though, we have a matching pendant design with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise and Green Turquoise that pairs well with these earrings. Check out these other heart & cross jewelry designs that we carry too, there may be something you'll want to treat yourself with!
EXCLUSIVELY OURS! Sterling Silver Thunderbird Ring
This all-Silver ring is another favorite among the classic crowd, especially for those with a personal connection to the Southwest or those who have an interest in Southwestern folklore. The thunderbird is a sacred, supernatural being that's hailed as a powerful symbol of strength and an entity that controls rain, which waters crops and awakens life processes as the seasons change. The feathers on this thunderbird also have arrowheads on them, which symbolizes a sense of guidance and direction, making it a perfect gift for people who lead their life with determination and purpose. This ring can be paired with the all-Silver Thunderbird and Bead Pendant Necklace, or the version of the same necklace available in Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Black Onyx, and Red Jasper.
LIMITED EDITION! Sterling Silver Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Heart Ring
We've mentioned Sleeping Beauty Turquoise a few times already in this guide because it's a valuable gemstone to receive as a gift due to its rarity. The Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, AZ closed back in 2012, so there's a limited supply of it, and we are thrilled to be able to offer it in many different designs to our collectors. This ring not only gifts your loved ones several cabochons of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, but it also has a unique look that harmonizes traditional clustering, a staple in Southwestern jewelry, with the contemporary heart shape that's eye-catching and trendy.
EXCLUSIVELY OURS! Sterling Silver Kingman Turquoise Double Heart Cuff Bracelet
Another type of Turquoise that's well-loved among Southwestern jewelry collectors is Kingman Turquoise, which comes from Kingman, AZ. The mine has been open for over a thousand years, making it one of the longest-running mines in the country! When you gift someone a piece of jewelry with Kingman Turquoise, you're gifting one of the most storied gemstones available. It's a gem that's cherished for its range of blue-green hues and one-of-a-kind matrix patterns. This double heart bracelet offers twice the amount of love with two cabochons styled for a contemporary look that boasts the beauty of symmetry. Gift it as a set with the matching ring too, or pair it with another cuff bracelet for a layered look.
Sterling Silver Denim Lapis Squash Blossom Necklace
For recipients who love an extravagant look with many layers and dimensions of details, a squash blossom necklace might be the perfect gift! This necklace comes already layered with two rows of beads around the squash blossoms stations, but it can also be worn at the long length of 20 inches, which makes plenty of room for shorter necklaces at the top of the neckline. The Lapis cabochons make a sophisticated statement with their deep blue hues that reflect the night sky, but this necklace also is available in many other gemstone options, including White Howlite and Serpentine, for recipients who prefer lighter colors. Explore the Naja & Squash Blossom collection to see other similar designs with their own unique characteristics.
