About the Item

"Platero" means "silversmith" in Spanish, perhaps indicating that this award winning third-generation jeweler's artistic roots might very well extend beyond his grandparents' time to the era of Spanish occupation of New Mexico. The aptness of the name is seen in every meticulous detail of Don’s work.
Morenci is highly prized for its beautiful blue colors, which vary from light to a very dark blue. It is also known and become popular for its iron pyrite or ‘fool’s gold’ matrix. It was a by-product of the Morenci copper mine in Arizona. The fact that Morenci turquoise is no longer being mined along with its beautiful blue color makes Morenci very valuable in today’s turquoise market.
Each stone has fabulous luster, very well made fine piece of art !
