High Grade Spider Web Bisbee Turquoise

We  (love) turquoise + turquoise jewelry!

Most notably, every week, we sell turquoise in the rough and cabochons. In addition, every week, we also sell thousands of dollars of vintage Native American turquoise jewelry. Also, we sell both artist “signed” pieces and “unsigned” pieces.

  • Bisbee Turquoise

Remarkably, an approximation of value and identification of your Native Southwest turquoise jewelry or turquoise costs you only $39.95 per item.  

Therefore, we offer this service for walk-in clients ONLY! 

*Equally important, this service is NOT a formal written appraisal, but is an identification and estimate of value based on 31 years of experience and continuing education through visiting other dealers and their shops, Indian jewelry shows, as well as local and national Indian Markets. In the first place, we  utilize paid subscription internet sites for the latest information.

Comprehensive written appraisals are also available for insurance coverage or any other reason,  as we are accredited appraisers who are qualified and experienced at writing professional appraisal reports for Native Southwest Jewelry. In the same fashion, please contact us for additional information (520) 326-3070 or visit American Heirloom Appraisers.com.

We have created turquoise jewelry ourselves! By the same token, we have been guests at the Royston mining district and personally mined turquoise. Also, we have been guests of Freeport McMoRan at the Bisbee turquoise tailing piles.  Additionally, we cut turquoise from the rough stone, shape turquoise for jewelry, and silversmith the finished product.

In the same vain, our 31 years of experience of buying, selling, and evaluating turquoise jewelry is our foundation for your accurate verbal approximation of value.

Consequently, we are listed with the Arizona State Museum (University of Arizona) as an “appraisal resource” assures you of our credentials.

In addition, we regularly attend Native American Indian jewelry shows including the Santa Fe Indian Market each August, Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, and other local and regional Native American Indian jewelry Shows.

Likewise, we regularly perform Indian Jewelry valuations, either as a walk-in service or internet e-mail correspondence.

Feedback from a recent client:
Hi Dwight,
Thanks so much for this information.  It’s nice to know that it’s valuable–but even if it weren’t, I would love the pieces both for their reminder of my family history and how beautiful the turquoise is.  
 
I have one question–the turquoise has lasted for many years, but I’d like to know how I can best care for it.
