Turquoise has for centuries been treasured for its timeless beauty. It is believed by many cultures to have healing powers as well. In America, this beautiful stone is made into excellent jewelry by Native American artists, many of whom have years of experience in crafting stunning works of art by setting turquoise stones in silver and gold or by creating necklaces of turquoise beads in combination with other stones. These unique pieces are collected not only for their beauty, but also because they are seen as stores of value due to the fame of the artists who made them.
