The piece measures 3 × 2 inches, with a 0.5‑inch bale that fits most chains, and carries that unmistakable White Water glow — bright sky‑blue with soft white matrix. The turquoise comes from the White Water Mine in Sonora, Mexico, a small‑yield deposit near the Arizona border known for producing electric blue stones in limited quantities. Local cutters say the mine got its name from the pale host rock that looked like “white water” running across the hillsides in the sun, and because production is sporadic, clean stones like these are increasingly rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGilbert Platero is a Navajo silversmith known for his clean, traditional hand‑fabricated silverwork and his ability to frame turquoise in a way that honors the stone’s natural character. Working in sterling silver, he uses classic Navajo techniques — deep stampwork, balanced symmetry, and strong, stone‑forward layouts — to create pieces that feel both grounded and refined. His hallmark GP appears on many of his works, which often feature high‑grade turquoise and thoughtful proportions that highlight the beauty of the material without overwhelming it.
