About the Materials
Arizona is known for five things: cattle, citrus, climate, copper and cotton. We've incorporated a few of these elements into our jewelry.
-
Turquoise - This precious stone holds a long history in the Southwest. Believed to bring strength to the wearer and help them overcome illness, turquoise has long been valued throughout the region.
-
Copper - We use copper to represent Arizona, the "Copper State". Even today, there are many working copper mines in the state.
-
Silver - In the 1800s, Navajo (Diné) artists began working silver after learning the art from Mexican silversmiths. The Zuni soon began trading their livestock for silver-smithing instruction; and by the late 1800s, Zuni smiths had taught the Hopi.

How to use lava beads with essential oils:
Since lava rock is porous, it is a natural way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy all day long. Gently place a drop of essential oil to one of the beads (you can use your finger or a Q-tip as well). Choose a single oil or create your favorite blend by applying more than one oil to a single bead or color coding your favorite oils with different colored beads. The beads will absorb the oils fairly quickly but may appear wet for a short time.
