Apple Coral and Kingman Turquoise Necklace, Navajo

A Navajo artisan created this necklace combining apple coral and Kingman turquoise beads. Apple coral — a term for vivid red-orange coral colored to resemble apple red — has been used in Navajo jewelry since the 19th century alongside natural turquoise. Kingman turquoise from Mohave County, Arizona contributes its characteristic sky-blue color with black matrix. The red-orange and sky-blue pairing is one of the foundational color combinations in Navajo jewelry tradition. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
