✦ GRACE NOTE
Kingman turquoise has a desert sunrise glow that is instantly recognizable to anyone who has spent time with fine American stones. The simple teardrop silhouette is exactly right — it lets the natural matrix of the stone do all the talking, while the sterling silver bezel frames it with the restraint of a confident curator. Wear it as the anchor piece in a curated southwestern-glam stack of silver chains, or let it stand alone against a white linen shirt on a warm afternoon. Either way, it will be the piece people ask about.
