Vintage Kingman Turquoise Necklace Santo Domingo

Our Vintage Kingman Turquoise Necklace is a vibrant celebration of Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry tradition, an art form rooted in centuries of skill, culture, and community. Santo Domingo artisans are known for their extraordinary turquoise work, and this vintage strand reflects that legacy beautifully. Its smooth, rounded discs echo the ancient heishi tradition, one of the oldest jewelry-making styles in the Southwest, where artisans shaped beads long before metal tools existed. This necklace carries the spirit of that lineage, rhythmic, balanced, and full of history.

Featuring rare Kingman turquoise, this piece is especially precious. Turquoise from the famed Kingman mine, one of the oldest and most historic mines in Arizona, has become increasingly difficult to obtain as high-grade material grows scarce. The shades in this strand, ranging from deep sky blues to earthy greens, are signatures of vintage Kingman stones, the kind collectors prize for their character and authenticity. With turquoise becoming harder to find every year, especially in larger or more distinct pieces, a necklace like this feels like a rare moment in time preserved.

Jean Marie personally selected this necklace during her travels across the Southwest. Pieces like this one are filled  with soul, story, and presence. This necklace is a treasure!

Styling this piece is effortless: wear it with denim for an everyday Southwestern look, pair it with linen for earthy elegance, or let it add a bold pop of color to a simple black dress. Its versatility makes it easy to love and even easier to wear. Whether you are a longtime turquoise collector or discovering its magic for the first time, this vintage Kingman strand carries warmth, history, and a sense of connection to the land and hands that shaped it. A necklace like this doesn’t just accessorize, it becomes part of your story, a companion that grows more meaningful with every wear.
