General Information on Turquoise Native American Jewelry |
The Importance of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA)
The Indian Arts and Crafts Association was established in 1974 in response to the growing problem of misrepresentation of American Indian arts and crafts in the marketplace. The original founders were American Indian artists and reputable businesses located primarily in the Southwest. Today, IACA is an international organization representing every link in American Indian arts – Native artists from the U.S. and Canada, along with consumers, retailers, wholesalers, museums, government agencies, suppliers and supporting members.
In the early 1970s, the American Indian arts and crafts industry was booming. And, as so often happens with successful businesses, unscrupulous dealers, knockoffs and imported goods appeared in the market to the detriment of the unsuspecting consumer and respectable artists, wholesalers and retailers. Legislation governing the industry and the labeling of authentic arts and crafts produced by Native Americans was weak or non-existent. Where it did exist within several of the States, it was rarely enforced.
Realizing that if these conditions were to continue, the buying public would soon lose confidence in the intrinsic value of American Indian products, these individuals did what people in similar circumstances have done since ancient times. Rather than face the issue privately, they banded together and founded the "Indian Arts and Crafts Association" and incorporated it under the laws of the State of New Mexico.
Two Dogs Southwest Gallery specializes in Authentic Native American Jewelry and Turquoise Jewelry. We represent over 650 of the finest Native American artists. The artists create some the finest jewelry that you will ever see. We represent artists from over 20 tribes. All of our Native American Jewelry, Native American Arts, and Native American Pottery comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. You can be confident when purchasing from us that your purchase is 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. The majority of our customers love our jewelry and rarely do we ever have anyone return what they have purchased. If this happens, it is usually due to size rather than quality.
TURQUOISE NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY
Turquoise Native American Jewelry has captivated man's imagination for centuries. The robin's egg blue gemstone, worn by Pharaohs and Aztec kings, is probably one of the oldest gemstones known. Today it makes a great fashion statement! Turquoise has been extensively used by Native American Indians for centuries. They use it in ceremonials and everyday life. The Native Americans consider turquoise to be the stone of life, good fortune, and as a symbol of life. It is also called the sky stone. The Native American Indians create some of the finest Native American Turquoise Jewelry ever created.
Turquoise is mined all over the world. For over 35 years, Two Dogs Southwest Gallery has developed business and personal relationships with over 650 of the finest Native American Artists. Our relationships have allowed us to personally meet with and hand-select each Turquoise piece we offer to you.

So what exactly is Turquoise?
Turquoise, chemically, is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum and is formed by the percolation of meteoric or groundwater through aluminous rock in the presence of copper. For this reason, it is often associated with copper deposits as a secondary mineral. Turquoise is most often found in arid, semiarid or desert places such as Iran, Tibet, China, Australia, Mexico, Russia, Turkestan and the United States.
Turquoise gets its color from the heavy metals in the ground where it forms. Blue turquoise forms when there is copper present, which is the case with most Arizona turquoise. Green turquoise forms where iron is present, the case with most Nevada turquoise. Matrix is the host rock, mother rock. It can be made from several different elements such as pyrite, chert, quartz, cuperite and manganese oxide. The sought after spider web turquoise is made up of small nuggets naturally cemented together with rock or matrix. When cut and polished the stone resembles a spider web. So many geologic chains of events must synchronize to create just one thin vein of turquoise that the mineral can rightly be envisioned as a fluke of nature. Turquoise is the rare and improbable product of an incalculable number of chemical and physical processes that must take place in the right combination and proper environment over a time span of hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of years.
