Jewelry on Etsy Team: Weekly Handmade Jewelry Round Up: Week of July 24, 2012

Did you know that New Mexico made turquoise the official state gem in 1967? Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral,  with the robin's egg blue color being the most prized.

Did you also know that most of the finest quality turquoise comes from the western and southwestern United States? They are the largest producers of turquoise in the world.

JETS make good use of this wonderful stone, in its many versions, shapes and sizes.

This week’s featured artists are:
Turquoise Wire Wrapped Earrings by Jems by JB and Company
Blue Turquoise Hammered Sterling Silver Earrings by Willow Creek Jewelry
