Authentic Gemstones
All of the gemstones we select for in our pieces have been sought-after for centuries - some of them for thousands of years - and feature a colorful history of their own. For example, the purple amethyst was thought by the Greek to prevent drunkenness, and bring peace to the mind; the name "amethyst" itself means "not drunken". Some of our Native American silver necklaces make stunning use of the amethyst. Another legendary gem, the blue lapis lazuli, was revered by the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians for its brilliant blue hues.
Selecting the perfect piece of gemstone necklaces begins with understanding your personal style and the story you want your jewelry to tell. Our team at Southwest Silver Gallery helps customers explore designs that range from subtle everyday pieces to bold handcrafted creations. Consider the colors you naturally wear, the type of statement you want to make, the craftsmanship behind each gemstone necklace, and the occasions where you plan to wear it. Natural stones often feature unique variations. This makes every piece distinct and meaningful.
Proper care helps preserve the beauty and character of your handcrafted jewelry for years to come. We recommend storing your necklace in a soft pouch, keeping gemstones away from harsh chemicals, gently cleaning sterling silver surfaces with appropriate materials, and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture. Because each stone has unique qualities, our team can help answer questions about caring for specific gemstones.
