Authentic Spiderweb Turquoise Bracelets from Durango Silver Co

Durango Silver Company is one of few authorities on Spiderweb Turquoise. We handle and produce some of the finest Spiderweb Turquoise Jewelry as well as Spiderweb Turquoise Bracelets coming out of the American Southwest today.

Above and to the left is a Navajo handmade Sterling Silver Spiderweb Turquoise Inlaid Bracelet, made by Johnny Coonis. The Spiderweb Turquoise used to inlay this Bracelet was mined in Hubei, China. This is an outstanding piece of work with spectacular Turquoise.

Above and to the right is another Spiderweb Turquoise Bracelet by Native American artist Larry Loretto. This beautiful Bracelet was inlaid with blue Tibetan Spiderweb Turquoise, Tibetan Turquoise shares the many of the same mountain ranges that Chinese Turquoise in found in and you can often see many resemblances.

Until recent years, business and travel was not allowed into China by foreigners. There was also little known about China, its history and its natural resources, specifically Turquoise. China began opening its borders and letting outsiders into their country in the 1970's and not long after a cash of Spiderweb Turquoise was discovered by westerners. A group from the American Southwest found out about this mother load, went to China and hit a payload. In the 1980's there was so much Chinese Spiderweb Turquoise in the Southwest that is was nearly worthless.

In the years following, it became obvious that the Spiderweb Turquoise that was found in the 70's had been dumped by the Chinese Miners as they were after clear, sky blue Turquoise and Turquoise with matrix was considered trash. As the Turquoise sat for many years exposed to oxygen and atmospheric conditions, it aged, hardened and became highgrade. Turquoise being mined in recent years had to be cured and stabilized to be used in Jewelry, it does not have the value of the original natural Chinese Spiderweb Turquoise -Authentic Natural Chinese Spiderweb Turquoise must be authenticated by a Turquoise authority to be of high value.

In 2011, China announced a 3-5 moratorium on the mining of Turquoise in their country. For the past period of time, Chinese Turquoisehas been drying up and most recently China has begun restraining any Turquoise from leaving their country and not have begun revoking the export licences held by any person or business dealing in Turquoise. Chinese Turquoise will become scarce and Chinese Spiderweb Turquoise will become valuable. See our page on Chinese Turquoise and Chinese Turquoise Mines.

Spiderweb Tibetan Turquoise can be very beautiful and unlike Chinese Turquoise, the Tibetans have been using all color's of Turquoise with and without matrix and spiderweb matrix for hundreds of years. The Tibetans also worship Turquoise, almost every person in Tibet wears Turquoise and almost every house in Tibet has a Turquoise alter. Many individuals worldwide believe Tibetan Turquoise has metaphysical and spiritual values and that is is some of the most important Turquoise in the world. We often produceTibetan Spiderweb Turquoise Bracelets at Durango Silver Company.
