Natural Cerrillos Turquoise is very rare & no two stones are alike. Each piece of Cerrillos Turquoise and gold jewelry shown on this website is unique and may not be available for purchase at this time due to prior sale.
If you are interested in a similar, but not exact piece of Cerrillos Turquoise jewelry, please call or email to discuss the project.


These exquisitely handcrafted jewelry pieces are made with rare Cerrillos turquoise, gathered from our ancient mines located near Santa Fe, New Mexico. The turquoise is 100% natural and has not been chemically treated. Since these mines are no longer active, the turquoise is both scarce and costly.
