One Of A Kind Designs
Each piece in this section is genuinely one of a kind and unique. These designs feature rare and unusual stones: American mined turquoise from historic mines , jaspers and agates from the US and other collector-quality stones I source specifically for their unusual character.

Natural Blue Gem Turquoise Pendant on Leather Cord
Natural Blue Gem Turquoise Pendant on Leather Cord
Light blue, olive green and a rusty brown matrix running through the crevices — this rough Blue Gem turquoise has all the turquoise colors in it. The surface is unpolished, just as it came from the ground, so it’s natural and rustic and lovely to touch.
Blue Gem turquoise comes from the Blue Gem mine near Battle Mountain, Nevada. It was mined from the 1930s into the 1970s and was prized by Zuni and Navajo silversmiths for its beautiful color. The mine is no longer active, so stones like this one are becoming harder and harder to find.
The stone is set in sterling silver, and I shaped the setting to follow its contours and features. Two solid 14k gold balls sit on either side, echoing the crevices in the stone. The silver is oxidized to bring out the texture, and the pendant hangs from a large circle bail on a doubled, soft leather cord.
The stone and setting (including the bail) measure 2” long by 7/8” wide. The necklace is 16” long with a 2” extender. This is a one-of-a-kind stone, and the exact necklace you’ll receive.
Every piece is handmade in my studio in Colorado, and arrives in its own Jane Fuller Designs box, ready for gifting.
