Spiny Oyster shell comes from the Sea of Cortez in Mexico and has always been a favorite of the Native American Indian jewelry artists and can be found in various shades of orange, red and purple. There are limited suppliers for the Spiny Oyster beads and cabochons and we always try to hand pick these strands to eliminate as much white on the beads as possible.
Hubei turquoise comes from the Hubei Province in China, home to famous ancient mines like Yungai and Zhuxi. They are prized by jewelry makers for their rich color range—from robin’s egg blue to deep teal and earthy green—often featuring striking dark brown, black, or charcoal spiderweb matrix patterns.
