This White Water Turquoise ring is crafted by Navajo artist Gilbert Platero, designed to pair perfectly with the squash‑blossom‑style pendant. The stone shows that unmistakable White Water glow — bright, clean sky‑blue with soft white matrix — set in sterling silver with Platero’s signature balanced, traditional silverwork. The band sits at size 7 but adjusts slightly for comfort. The turquoise comes from the White Water Mine in Sonora, Mexico, a small‑yield deposit near the Arizona border known for its vivid, electric blue stones. Production is limited and sporadic, which is why matching pieces like this are so hard to source.

Gilbert 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 stamp work, 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. Collectors appreciate his jewelry for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and the quiet confidence of his design style.

White Water Turquoise carries that open‑sky steadiness — the kind that clears the noise, centers your breath, and keeps your energy clean as you move through the world. It’s long been used for protection, truth‑speaking, and walking with clarity. Correspondence: turquoise aligns with the throat, the traveler, and the guardian — a companion for honesty, protection, and staying aligned with your path.
