Stainless Steel & Sterling Silver Kingman Turquoise, Coral & Mother of Pearl Money Clip #010

Discover this exceptional Native American Money Clip, handcrafted by Zuni Pueblo artisans, meticulously crafted in Stainless Steel and Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases genuine Kingman Turquoise, beautifully complemented by Coral and Mother of Pearl. The Kingman Turquoise featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — From the Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona, one of the oldest and largest turquoise mines in North America. Operating since the 1880s, it produces classic blue turquoise with distinctive white and black matrix. Complementing the design, the Coral adds its own story — Harvested from the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea and Pacific Ocean, red coral has been treasured for centuries. Native American artists have incorporated coral into jewelry since ancient trade routes brought it to the Southwest. Rounding out this composition, the Mother of Pearl brings additional character — The iridescent inner lining of mollusk shells, sourced from oceans worldwide. Native American artists, particularly from Zuni Pueblo, have long incorporated this luminous material into intricate inlay designs. Nestled in the high desert of western New Mexico, Zuni Pueblo has been home to master lapidaries for generations. Zuni artists are world-renowned for their intricate inlay work, petit point, and needlepoint techniques using turquoise, coral, and shell. Every piece at Humiovi is one-of-a-kind — once sold, it can never be replicated. Ships from our gallery in Sedona, Arizona.
