• Blue Gem Turquoise: According to the artist, the turquoise in this handmade money clip is from the Blue Gem Turquoise Mine located in Nevada.  It is sometimes difficult to capture the exact color of the turquoise as the stones vary in different light and appearance changes from one computer monitor to another. The turquoise in this sterling silver money clip is polished, has wonderful depth and varies from deep to light turquoise-blue with very little matrix.
• Most Indian Jewelry key ring and money clip mechanisms are made of a base metal as sterling silver is too soft and less resilient to withstand the normal wear and tear of key rings and money clips. All metal added to the mechanisms by the Native American silversmiths are either sterling silver or 14kt as described on the individual item pages.
• Made in the U.S.A.
