Native Americans use the turquoise stone to create their very unique jewelry. The stone is thought to bring good luck to those who wear the jewelry. What makes this style of art so different is that most of it is handmade. The website http://www.southwestjeweler.com/2009/04/23/southwestern-style-jewelry.html gives some very good information on Native Americans and how they use turquoise stones or beads. It also discusses other stones used in making the jewelry and why the shape or size of the stones is so important.
It was a good article, but could have been a bit more descriptive. Southwestern jewelry is distinctive and fun to wear.
