Sleeping Beauty Turquoise — The Purest Expression of Blue

There is a blue so serene, so impeccably clear, it feels almost celestial. 
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise captures that moment — the hush of desert air at dawn, when the sky opens into pure light. It is not just a gemstone. It is an emotion, refined by time and perfected by nature. 

From the Mountain That Slept Beneath the Sky 

Sourced from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona — a mountain named for its silhouette of a resting woman — this turquoise has long been treasured for its extraordinary clarity of color. Its surface is uninterrupted, without web or vein, revealing a shade so even and luminous that it became the standard of turquoise perfection. 
When the mine closed in 2012, its story shifted from abundance to legacy. Today, every fine Sleeping Beauty stone is finite — a whisper from a past era of American lapidary excellence. 

Where Purity Meets Gold 

In my atelier in Cody, Wyoming, I choose Sleeping Beauty Turquoise for its quiet confidence. Its clean, vibrant hue becomes the soul of each composition — a counterpoint to the rich warmth of 18K gold and the sparkle of hand-set diamonds. 
There’s a harmony in that contrast — sky and sun, simplicity and opulence, art and nature — brought together through design that feels sculptural yet fluid. 

A Gem of Rarity and Refinement

Every Sleeping Beauty stone I select is individually examined and cut by hand. Only the finest exhibit that unmistakable robin-egg tone — luminous, even, and velvety in texture. With the mine’s closure, these gems have become collector’s treasures, cherished by those who understand that true luxury lies in rarity. 
To wear it is to carry a piece of sky — calm, infinite, and undeniably refined. 

The Art of Understatement 

In high jewelry, restraint can be the ultimate form of elegance. 
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise requires nothing more than integrity in design — graceful curves, balanced proportion, and the quiet confidence of fine craftsmanship. Every piece I create with it is meant to move effortlessly between day and evening — luminous under sunlight, graceful under candlelight.

A Final Reflection 

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is more than color. It is clarity made tangible. 
For me, it represents the heart of what fine jewelry should be — honest, exquisite, and timeless. 
When set in gold, it becomes a moment of serenity you can hold — a reminder that true beauty needs no adornment beyond truth itself. 

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
