The Down River Set

About the strand:

An easy favorite with just the right amount of statement. Smooth sterling silver pearl beads flow into a striking center of Baja turquoise, giving the necklace a grounded, polished feel with a pop of vivid color. The coordinating earrings mirror that same bold turquoise, but use graduated sterling silver saucer pearl bead to create a cohesive look that still feels effortless. Wear them together when you want to stand out OR separately when you want just a hint of something special.

About the stone: 

Baja turquoise, also known as Evans turquoise, is a rare and highly collectible stone sourced from the historic Evans Mine in Baja California, Mexico. Known for its vibrant blue-to-green hues, it often features a distinctive matrix in soft brown, sepia, or black tones that adds natural character to each piece. Much of this material was mined decades ago, and with the mine now largely inactive, authentic Baja turquoise has become increasingly scarce. Its resemblance to high-grade Nevada turquoise, paired with its limited availability, makes it a standout choice for collectors and everyday wear alike. Turquoise is a sacred and highly valued stone in Native American cultures, symbolizing healing, protection, and a deep connection to nature, particularly the sky and water. It represents good fortune, strength, and spiritual communication. This stone is integral to ceremonies, rituals, and everyday life, where Native American tribes use it for healing, safeguarding, and even rituals intended to bring about rain.
