Southwest Style Necklaces  

Sterling Silver Necklaces With Desert-Inspired Character

The southwest aesthetic draws from a specific palette: Sleeping Beauty turquoise from Arizona, Mediterranean red coral, golden tiger's eye, and spiny oyster shell in shades of orange and purple. Turquoise rates 5 to 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for daily wear when set in protective silver bezels. Many of our pieces feature shadowbox settings and oxidized finishes that give the metalwork visible depth and age. Southwest jewelry traditions developed in the late 1800s when Navajo silversmiths began incorporating turquoise into Spanish-influenced metalwork. That history shows in the weight and construction of these necklaces. You will find substantial chain links, stamped silver beads, and pendant drops that sit with purpose against the chest. The multistone arrangements often combine complementary minerals from the same geographic region. SilverRush Style has specialized in natural stone jewelry since 2005. We photograph each necklace individually so you see the exact piece you will receive. Browse the collection to find a southwest style necklace that fits your preference and price range.
