When it comes to turquoise jewelry, there’s something truly special about discovering a stone that stands out. Purple Mohave and Dahlia are two remarkable varieties that bring vibrant color and striking patterns to any jewelry collection. Whether you’re drawn to bold blue hues, soft pinks, or rich purples, these stones add a distinctive touch to sterling silver designs. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Mohave and Dahlia so captivating.
Purple Mohave is a composite stone that undergoes a unique stabilization process. Natural turquoise is crushed and compressed with resin and pigments, and it is often infused with alloys such as copper or bronze to create a mesmerizing matrix. This process enhances the stone’s durability while highlighting its bold blue hues and brilliant purple pigments, making it a stunning centerpiece for handmade jewelry.
Why You’ll Love It: Kingman Purple Mohave is known for its striking, dramatic matrix and vivid color. No two stones are alike, making it the perfect choice for unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Dahlia stones are the Barbie dream of turquoise jewelry, playful, bold, and impossibly chic. This composite bursts with brilliant blues, unexpected pinks, fiery oranges, and glowing golden tones. Each Kingman Dahlia stone feels like wearable art, whether it’s a soft, watercolor-like blend or a striking, dramatic matrix. A true showstopper for any collector.
What Makes It Unique? This variety offers a distinctive mix of colors that stand out in rings, cuffs, and pendants. Whether you’re drawn to soft pinks or rich oranges, Dahlia is a striking choice for any jewelry collection.
Turquoise has long been cherished in Navajo silversmithing, and these modern variations honor that tradition while bringing fresh, vibrant styles to life. They also provide a sustainable way to use turquoise fragments that would otherwise be discarded. While composite stones may not be for everyone, they open the door to vivid color combinations and striking patterns that simply aren’t possible in natural turquoise alone.
Whether you’re drawn to a bold cuff, an elegant pendant, or a statement necklace, Mohave and Dahlia add a distinctive touch, a fun, modern twist on traditional sterling silver jewelry. At Calli Co. Silver, we celebrate the rich heritage of handmade jewelry with authentic, artisan-crafted pieces that highlight the beauty of these stones.
