*Our jewelry can get wet because it is high quality .925 sterling silver. But, we do not recommend it! Our jewelry will never turn your skin green. Although, over long periods of time precious metals oxidize through water exposure because of minerals in water. To preserve the quality over long period of time we suggest minimizing getting jewelry wet. :)*

Gemstone History:
Showcasing immense beauty and marvel, the spiny oysters are one of the oldest jewelry options used by Southwest Native Americans. Harvested from the Gulf of California, these stunning oyster shells are known for their infinite beauty and allure all across the globe.
The Arizona Turquoise is called so because it comes from the famous Arizona mines (Bisbee & Kingman). Spiny Oysters are also known as spondylids, spondylus, and thorny oysters. Spiny oyster shells contain bivalve mollusks. While these mollusks are eaten in many parts of the world, the spiny oyster shell is used as a supreme and matchless jewelry inlay option. The shell comes with a natural hinge and is used in various ways for jewelry purposes. The Arizona Turquoise coming from Kingman mine has very fine veins which are nearly invisible while those that come from the Bisbee mine have a brown matrix upon their surface.
