What materials are used for the Santa Fe '400'.

First and foremost the Cerrillos Turquoise is directly linked to Santa Fe’s long rich history back into antiquity.  It is very rare and specifically unique to this area of the southwest.

Cerrillos Turquoise

Turquoise used in the Santa Fe 400 Collection originates from the three mines owned by Douglas Magnus; The Alicia Lode, The Castilian, and The Tiffany. All of the Cerrillos Turquoise is selected and hand cut by Douglas Magnus.

Some items are made with natural Carico Lake turquoise from Nevada, or stabilized Kingman Turquoise from Arizona. We use Sterling Silver, 14k Gold and 18k Gold.

Pieces may be solid silver or solid gold, or a combination of two.; Some pieces are all hand cast heavy sterling silver, which may include 14k or 18k gold overlays.  These items are of substantial weight and feel as rich as they look. Our most inexpensive designs may be made by the lost wax cast process in sterling silver and are of various weights and thickness.

The chains are sold separately. We have selected a timeless open cable style chain, with many weights, lengths, and styles available...please call for current pricing.
