Custom-made especially for us by talented silver maker and turquoise collector Page Vidler in rural Roma Queensland. We’ve handpicked this beautiful No 8 Turquoise and designed a unique hat pin that’s made be admired, worn and treasured.
The design, inspired by the southwest with a modern twist. Stunning hand-forged rope twist and rising sun motif silver-work surrounds the azure blue No 8 turquoise. Hand crafted in .925 silver. One of a kind hat-pin.
It’s all about the Turquoise (no #8) Number Eight mine in Eureka County Nevada, discovered in 1925. At present, the mine is closed and today mined for gold. The mine produced some of the largest nuggets of turquoise ever discovered, the colours grade from very light blue to blue-green with a matrix varying from golden brown to black. As with most mines, Number 8 turquoise has certain characteristic colour and matrix patterns that are very easily identified. Today, the blue & bluest Number 8 turquoise are quite rare and highly valued by collectors.
This beautiful piece is shipped with tracking & insurance.
