These elegant earrings were handcrafted by Navajo artisan Roy Huskie Jr. of Tuba City, Arizona. Roy is known for his clean craftsmanship and careful eye for gem grade turquoise, selecting stones that showcase the natural beauty and individuality of each piece. His work blends traditional Navajo artistry with timeless Southwestern design.

The soft sky-blue turquoise in these earrings is accented by delicate golden veining that drifts across the stone like trails of light in the night sky. Their graceful geometric shape creates a refined silhouette, while the natural turquoise brings warmth, character, and a connection to the land.

Meet Roy Huskie Jr... Navajo Silversmith

Growing up in Tuba City on the Navajo Nation, Roy learned this skill from his father.

Roy stamps his creations with RH. His favorite thing about his trade is when he sees people light up when they see what he has made for them.

Why Wear Silver & Turquoise

Turquoise Tells The Holy People You Know Where You Came From

The legends say... turquoise is meant to remind us of our existence in the Blue World. The Blue World is the second in the teachings of the four worlds. It has a few different names: The Second World, The Blue World, The Spirit World, and The World With No Surface. Turquoise is said to offer protection. To identify to the Holy People, the Five-Fingered beings who know where they come from. Our Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, uses his necklace to teach about the symbolism of turquoise.

Authentic Turquoise

Access To Real Turquoise is Limited

In the United States, there are only five operational Turquoise Mines still in existence. The most active is the Kingman Mine in Arizona. Followed by the Emerald Valley Turquoise Mine, Crow Springs Turquoise Mine, Royston Turquoise Mine, & Turquoise Ridge Mine... all of which are in Nevada.

Although most of the mines are closed, there is still Turquoise in circulation from the other mines you see on the map. 

Some Turquoise is more rare than others. If you have any turquoise, go ahead and check the map. Maybe it is rare and comes from one of these mines that are no longer in operation.
