Skystone is proof of this. Paul O'connell Santa Fe

John L. Again, thank you for providing such consistently beautiful pieces, and for making it possible for me to acquire some of them (and for enabling me to proudly present them to my wife.) (As long as I can keep buying her such beautiful things, I can continue to keep her distracted from my many shortcomings....)

Theresa S. The necklace arrived yesterday and it is beautiful. My daughter will be thrilled!

MaryAnn W. I LOVE IT my carico lake Sunshine Reeves bracelet!! My husband and daughter love it. Thanks so much for getting this for me. The stone is GORGEOUS, definitely a collector piece.

Angela K. The Kingman moly bracelet arrived safely on Saturday - It is so beautiful and unusual in construction - I really appreciate Ida M. 's artistry. The stones have a powerful feel to them. Thank you for sending it so promptly. Best wishes for a happy Autumn season,

Mary Ann C. I was evaluating the quality of your jewelry and the information on your Web site. It is the best one I have seen and a great source of information to become educated on buying authentic and unique Native American jewelry. I discovered this before reading the Wall St. article! I am looking forward to establishing a relationship with you once I decide what I would like to purchase. In the meantime, I will keep abreast of what you have to offer through your fabulous Web site! It's a great source of information on Native American jewelry. I enjoyed discovering you last night while doing some research!

I have been a Skystone customer for several years now and everything I have purchased has been wonderful. Julia is always a joy to work with. She is so honest and always offers the best pieces at a fair price. If you are looking to purchase turquoise/Southwest jewelry this is the place to go! You will not be disappionted.

MaryAnn Oct 06, 2010 Comments: I LOVE your new website!! I got my bracelet and it is gorgeous. I can't get enough of your jewelry. THANKS!!

Cat Thomas Sept 11, 2010 Comments: I just received the Carico Lake Cloud Hall necklace now. The stones are simply exceptional. Thank you for all of your help--and your kindness. I will treasure this piece. Please send my regards to Cloud. I believe the beadwork is almost as fine as Scott's. It will be a privilege to wear.

Happy Midwest Customer Sept 11, 2010 Comments: The wonderful turquoise & coral stampwork bracelet arrived safely yesterday - how comfortable and sturdy it is to wear! The Turquoise Mt. stone is quite special, I enjoy looking at its intricate variations. And the stampwork is so exact - what an art! The coral stones really enhance the beauty of the turquoise centerpiece. It's truly a pleasure to wear. I stood outside under the blue sky, with clouds, and enjoyed the beauty of sky, stone and silver in the bright Summer evening. Thanks to the artist for his creation, and many thanks to you for making this available!

Mary Anne T. Sept 04, 2010 Comments: The package arrived yesterday with all the wonderful pieces. I have never received so many things from you at once so it was indeed like Christmas!

Carolyn S. Aug 14, 2010 Comments: The necklace arrived yesterday, and I LOVE it! I've been wearing it, and it's so silky. It turns out I like it long as well as doubled as a choker, and I have a few other strands to layer with it long. The shade works great with the Noah Pfeffer coral ring I got a few years ago, and when I put the two on together, I feel like a million bucks (even in a t-shirt!)

Kirsten Aug 09, 2010 Where are you from? Seattle, WA Comments: I hear marvelous things about your trading company. Presently I'm bidding on/considering bidding on several fetishes on eBay which offer certificates of authenticity from you. It sure increases a buyer's confidence. I wish you the best of fortune with your business. Regards, Kirstin

Merilee W. Aug 01, 2010 Comments: Hi Julia, The Lovato 5-Strand Pipestone & Melon Shell Heishe Necklace arrived safely yesterday, and I am wearing it today. Love the Lovato! It is very comfortable, drapes beautifully, and is a real work of art. Please pass along to them that this is not my first Lovato necklace from Skystone, and I really appreciate their artistry. Thank you again for another wonderful piece to wear and cherish.

Lynn and Larry July 29, 2010 Comments: Julia and Mona too: My heartfelt thanks for my astonishing new wedding ring.

Thank you both so very much!

Mary June 27, 2010 Comments: Thank you for these wonderful earrings which way exceeded my expectations - Kirk Smith is a hugely talented artist and these strong but delicate earrings are beyond beautiful!

Victoria June 24, 2010 Comments: Just received the Morenci Ring and the stone is just beautiful and the weight of the ring was perfect. I put the earring on immediately and the sleeping beauty stones are so vibrant and as i said the size was perfect and I have more then three places in each ear they go perfectly with the other small earrings im wearing with the ones that you sent me. Im always thrilled no matter what i purchase from you. Thanks again and pleased as always Sincerely Victoria (elgin,tx)

Vicki May 26, 2010 Comments: The Sugar Daddy Ricky bear fetish is absolutely unbelievable in person. Julia, I can't thank you enough for allowing me to put it on layaway. Ricky really outdid himself on this one; nothing can compare. I hope you start offering more fetishes for sale. Thank you for the beautiful packaging as well, it made it a truly special occassion. My heart beats faster whenever I get a package from Skystone!

Dianne May 11, 2010 Comments: Julia,I received my Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Necklace w/Lapis,Spiney Oyster and Gaspeite......WOW! Fast service!

Carol Green April 26, 2010 Comments: The cuff bracelet arrived today, and it's STUNNING! I love it. It's a bit loose, but I'm going to live with it a while before I decide whether to have it sized down or not. I'm so thrilled. Thank you! Now I'll be on the hunt for some beads to wear with it. . .

Stephanie Joli April 26, 2010 Comments: Thank you for re-sizing my new Bisbee turquoise ring. I really like the stone and am glad we could make this work. It fits great, and is a perfect addition to my collection. I really appreciate your prompt response and willingness to fix this.

Joy H. April 19, 2010 Comments: I ambushed my mailman this morning as he pulled up across the street - he had order 1336 which he handed over to me with a smile. I just opened it and my jaw hit the floor. The ring is everything I hoped for - sleek, eyecatching and comfortable. What a wonderful piece! The Royston? I thought it was gorgeous on your website, but those shots didn't come close to the reality of it. Absolutely STUNNING!!!! I can tell this is one that's going to get worn VERY frequently! The color, glow and feel of this bracelet is just unbelievable. It has PRESENCE! I can't say enough about it except to second your comment - lucky me! Thanks so much for getting these to me early! I feel very blessed, and will probably have a smile on my face for at least the rest of the day.

Brigitte April 13, 2010 Comments: Went to the post office today and I am pleased to say your parcel has arrived!!! Weehee!!!! Thanks Julia...and let it be said, the Turquoise is even more beautiful as expected... Brilliant!!! I am very happy with it....thank so much...

Isabel Gonzales March 19, 2010 Comments: The bracelets are wonderful as usual, and I can't say enough about the positive energy from the natural stones! I don't think the website pictures can ever truly capture the beauty of the pieces you offer. Thanks.

Victoria L. March 07, 2010 Comments: I couldn't wait to get the Sleeping Beauty Pendant, when it arrived, I instantly put it on and it's absolutely beautiful. I have had it on all week and I'm getting complements. I love the stones and the size of the pendant. It's actually a bit larger than iIt appears to be in the picture. Again Thank You, Sincerely, Victoria

Jenny Tobias Feb 19, 2010 Comments: I will tell you from years of buying "junk" from other websites, Skystone Trading is by far, the best of the best. I have been a customer for about 5 years now and not only is the selection the very best in terms of quality and workmanship, the customer service is second to none. Julia will take time to work with you, to describe the jewelry in detail, to make sure this is the perfect piece for you...in short she makes you feel special, like you are her only customer and she values that relationship. I will remain a loyal customer for many years to come and encourage all viewers of this website to buy with confidence because you are getting the best of the best!

Isabelle Fairman Feb 14, 2010 Comments: Just want to let you know I received the bracelet. It is beautiful! I just love it! No disappointment there. I must tell you that every single time I have purchased a piece from you I have always been thrilled with the piece and as you know I own quite a few turquoise bracelets I have acquired from your website over the years. I keep coming back! That should tell you something! Thank you, Julia.

Susan Peters Jan 26, 2010 Comments: I have been a southwest, Mexican, South American jewelry collector for twenty years...and I regularly shop in foreign markets...but I must say...I am so impressed with your beautiful and colorful web catalogue...that i will be shopping with you too! If you can find/create more outrageous earrings...I will be buying from you on a regular basis!

Vicky Mantel Jan 21, 2010 Comments: Hi Julia, The Carico Lake pendant arrived yesterday. Let's just say I am blown away - AGAIN. As always the best turqoise jewelry comes from you. I love that each piece is like unwrapping a gift. The pieces I choose from you always exceed my expectations. This is another "WOW" piece for me! Thank you so much for allowing your customers to use a layaway plan - without it I wouldn't have this unbelievable piece. Vicki

Alsira Jan 11, 2010 Comments: The ring arrived safely on Thursday - what beautiful stones! These have a different feeling to them - very special. The vivid colors remind me of the evening sky in winter. Thank you for keeping me in mind if you ever have a bracelet or pendant with the "King Moly" stones - it would be lovely to have a synergistic combination. This is one of those rings that you want to put on and not want to take off! I send thanks and blessings to those who mined the stones, the artist that crafted the stones and the ring, and to you, for your work.

Anne H. Aug 07, 2009 Comments: I have been meaning to let you know that the Kingman cuff arrived safely a few days ago. I can't believe that after 30 years it shows no signs of use - no scratches, no dings! I love the color-variation in the center stone and the intense blue of the side stones. Furthermore, it is so comfortable, and so different from my other bracelets, that I know I'll be wearing it a lot. MANY MANY thanks! Best wishes to you,

Vicki June 30, 2009 Comments: When Julia describes stones as having ZAT, she isn't kidding around! I've admired this bracelet for so long and after a wonderful sale, here it is on my wrist. I have the best jewelry from SKYSTONE and this piece is another fabulous addition. Thanks so much Julia for providing top quality pieces to those of us without access to them. Love you!!!

Anne June 17, 2009 Comments: When I got home this evening there was a box at my door containing a super-fantabulous cuff . That stone - WOW! (is it what's called "bird"s eye"?); and the stamping is terrific. What a silversmith ...! It fits well, too, for which I thank you, thanks for bending it in for me.

Judith Glassman June 09, 2009 Comments: Noah's ring! It is absolutely magnificent. The #8 turquoise gleams with life, the gold bezel and silver shank are perfect.

Becky B. May 24, 2009 Comments: I received the bracelet yesterday. As usual USPS is very quick. The bracelet is beautiful and it fits! Thank Mr. Chambless, and thank you, for working with me to get the right fit, by mail and by phone. I want to wear it all the time (but I won"t, because I"m hard on jewelry) I wore it with the Orvil Jack earrings even though they are different colors, because I love them both and blue and green ARE good together. I appreciate all your help. Thank you!

Ellen Wollocher May 01, 2009 Comments: ooooohhh la la!!! This is a Beautiful pendant - just received it today and the pictures don't do it justice. Can't wait to wear it tomorrow and I have the perfect thick chain to wear it with. Very glad I got back on your site last weekend because I thought about it overnight and the way I figure it, if I got back on your site 24 hours later and it was still there, it had my name on it (sounds perfectly plausible to me - ha ha). Anyway thank you for the prompt delivery. I also have a pilot mountain ring I purchased from you several years ago and will wear that with it tomorrow. Quite a few people ask me about my jewelry (90 percent I get from your site), and I tell them. Thanx Julia!

Katy A April 30, 2009 Comments: Thank you everyone. My ring is beautiful, and it fits perfectly. I'm so happy with it, and your service was so fast. I'm a happy customer. K.

They were all very pleased with their gifts, as well.

Sherry Landon March 01, 2009 Comments: WOW, WOW, WOW ! ! ! !! ! ! They are gorgeous - - - - the #8 bracelet is so amazing and the stones are a little larger than I expected, so that is even better. Wearing it right now and it looks wonderful with the other #8 by the same maker. The colour is out of this world and it has the same "Life" to it as the other cuff.

David Spencer Nov 30, 2008 Comments: I would like to thank you for the opportunity to purchase the Lorraine Waatsa coral pendant you recent offered in your spring sale. I am a great fan of her mother, Alice Quam. As the previous David Cadman piece I purchased from you last year, this pendant will serve as an anniversary gift to my dear wife. Again, my thanks for allowing those of us with a love of Indian cultures, the opportunity to share in obtaining the physical and spiritual symbols of those cultures.

Judith G. Oct 14, 2008 Comments: I treasure skystonetrading.com so much! Visiting your site is basking in an oasis of pure pleasure! I am in awe at how perfectly you showcase the extraordinary jewelry you carry.

Anne Oct 14, 2008 Comments: Julia, The glossary is a wonderful addition to the site. Thanks for pulling all this information together.

Kerry N. Oct 13, 2008 Comments: I received the Noah ring and love it -- his work just gets better and better!

Jan Terry Oct 13, 2008 Comments: The Carico necklaces are here & I am very happy with them. Thank you for making them available. You were right, they are extraordinary! ! The colors sing! I love them, thanks again ~

Pat Dietrich Oct 11, 2008 Comments: The ring came and it"s gorgeous! I am thrilled! The box and bag are beautiful as well! Thank you so much!

Alicia Margolis Oct 04, 2008 Comments: I received the Noah ring and love it -- his work just gets better and better!

Martha Canton Oct 04, 2008 Comments: I picked up the sugilite bracelet last night and what a joy! One of the things I have always found true about the Skystone site and how you show items there is that they are always very true to the actual piece. I always know what I am getting. However, I must say that, with this piece, it IS more beautiful in person! The depth and vibrant color of the stones is amazing. I put it on while I ran to the grocery store to pick up milk and just kept raising my sleeve to take a peek and each time thought, "Wowee"! The sizing also works great so, once again, many thanks.

Joye H. Sept 19, 2008 Comments: Beautiful! Presentation is first rate! Love the packaging and the quickness of the shipping, but most of all love the jewelry I received.

Bill Sherwood Sept 19, 2008 Comments: I received the pietersite bracelet today, and as with everything I"ve bought from you it"s beautiful. I love the stone and the silver work on the bracelet. Thanks again for all the beautiful things you find and offer.

Glenda Mounger Sept 16, 2008 Comments: Great Merchandise

Karen Sept 16, 2008 Comments: I got the Phil Cerrillos ring yesteday, and I just can"t take it off! It"s just lovely. Now I"m trying to resist a pair of his earrings.

Randy Michener Sept 13, 2008 Comments: The pendant is twice as gorgeous in reality. The coral and turquoise is very impressive - both the quality and the cut is outstanding! The coral is fantastic - almost a perfect match for the Pfeffer ring. The Midway Island coral bracelet I bought from you several years ago by Bruce Eckhardt/Alvin Lee is a deeper apricot/peach color - but all three pieces blend together perfectly. Thanks again. Be sure to praise Bruce when you see him. You"ve said it before - no one else can cut turquoise and coral like he does + he has access to the best and most unique stones!

Jill Havens Sept 13, 2008 Comments: With the economy the way it is, I suppose it makes sense people have to tighten their belts, and your pieces would be considered a luxury to most folks. I pesonally consider them essentials to life. Whenever I wear one of the pieces I"ve gotten from you, it makes me feel better - knowing that some of the turquoise is no longer available but has been shaped and complimented by the silverwork puts other aspects of life in a different perspective. The pieces are so beautiful, they make me feel prettier and lighter in spirit.

Deb Manning Sept 11, 2008 Comments: Received the bracelet a couple of days ago and it is spectacular! Fits on the large size but that makes it so comfortable. Noah is very gifted and has created something so beautiful and having such a silky smooth feel that I find myself playing with it without realizing initially that I am even doing it. Please extend my thanks to him for his efforts in finding the #8 and putting together such an exquisite piece of art.

Tony C. Sept 11, 2008 Comments: Thanks! We love the pieces you bring to your site and is always top quality! We hope to pay the piece off soon and get more for the lucky lady!

Marianne Thompson Sept 08, 2008 Comments: I just received my David Dear "earrings" in the curtain style. I wanted you to know I was extremely pleased with them! Additionally, thank you for presenting them so beautifully! They will be a Christmas present, and I am certain they will be treasured! As usual, it is so hard to make a decision on your web site as you carry such lovely pieces. I always look forward to getting your informational emails.

Sharon James Sept 03, 2008 Comments: Well, I had been watching this gorgeous Pilot Mt. ring made by Ricky Martinez on Skystone for probably 6 months but could not buy it just yet because I just spent over $2000,.00 on a Bisbee ring made by Calvin Martinez & a Pilot Mt. bracelet that would match this gorgeou ring perfect. So, wouldnt you know it, it goes on sale & I am worried that someone will get it so I have to purchase it. The ring is a size 8 1/2 & my finger is a 6 1/2 but Julia tells me that they can size it so I buy it. I recieve the ring & you can hardly tell that they have taken it down 2 sizes & it matches my bracelet perfect. I have bought collectible turquoise for a long time & NO place would EVER resize a ring like that. YOU ARE THE BEST, SKYSTONE TRADING CO.

Pat Chenell Aug 20, 2008 Comments: Nice site, nice jewelry. This kind of jewelry is simply not available in my part of the world, so it"s all about the internet for "real" turquoise shopping.

MICHAEL AND KATHRYN HOWARD July 29, 2008 Comments: WE BOTH LOVE THIS SITE. YOU HAVE MANY ITEMS THAT WE LOOK AT ALL THE TIME. THANKS MUCH..

Roberta July 23, 2008 Comments: The five stone Damale bracelet was better than pictured. The colors are incredible and it fit like a glove.I love this piece and look forward to many more Skystone purchases in the future. Thank you for the special packaging and pouch, unwrapping was a present to myself :-D

Stella Marcosi July 23, 2008 Comments: I wanted to let you know that I recieved my ring today and I am very pleased. It looks gorgeous with my bracelet. I have a bracelet that was made by Oscar Alexious which has a stone identical to the stone that is in the ring. The same beautiful blue and the same golden honey matrix. It is so stunning together. Thank you again.

E. Renata July 15, 2008 Comments: I"ve looked through many sites at bracelets for myself and my wife and have not seen anything like the one you have. I"m still interested if you find one. Thanks for your time and trouble, I"ll continue to check your site as I found it small, but holding a high quality mark for product and service. To me, more important that quantity.

Karen House July 15, 2008 Comments: Received the ring & bracelet today & they are both fantastic!! The ring fits perfectly. Love both. Thanks!

Jamie Trenton July 13, 2008 Comments: I"ll let you know as soon as I receive the Pfeffer Coral ring. I know I"ll be thrilled with it. The photograph looks outstanding and your jewelry always looks even better in reality than the photo"s.

valerie baker July 13, 2008 Comments: I loved every sentence about the turquoise and how it should be identified!! I had a trader tell me once that if I suspected a piece (from Turkey for $25!) to be plastic that I could take a hot needle and push it against a spot that would not be noticeable and if it was plastic it would sink right in. Unfortunately I had already bought the piece on e-Bay and could not return it.

Marcia Hunziker June 30, 2008 Comments: Wonderful site with historical information on turquoise that can"t be found anywhere else. Originally from the midwest where diamonds reign supreme! I have had a very large change of mind since living here in NM... My passion for this jewelry is running my poor husband into the "poor house."

Terry B June 23, 2008 Comments: I wanted to tell you that I think your website is the BEST I"ve ever visited. Not only is it appealing to the eye, but navigation around it is wonderful! I don"t know of another site I"ve visited that has provided me all the navigation tools I wanted....yours does! The WHOLE experience of buying jewelry from you is wonderful! Thank you.

Sarah L. June 19, 2008 Comments: The jewelry arrived today. Both of them are beautiful and I am so pleased I ordered them. Thank you very much for your help and being so prompt.

Penny June 19, 2008 Comments: I just wanted to let you know that the sugilite ring and bracelet arrived safely yesterday. They are gorgeous and are perfect! Thanks so much for the excellent service and fast shipping! Have a great day!

Susan F. June 14, 2008 Comments: Are you planning on getting any more Noah Pfeffer tufa-cast rings? I saw some beauties on Find.com, but of course, they were all on your website and had already been sold. Skystonetrading is absolutely my favorite and I look forward to checking new pieces each week.

Janie T June 13, 2008 Comments: ...thanx for the beautiful things...ive been giving your address to friends so they can enjoy too....

Kathleen C May 31, 2008 Comments: I love the ring I got from you and am looking forward to seeing new pieces on your website.

Lillie Hudson May 28, 2008 Comments: Thank you for everything! The bracelets are just right in every way, beautiful work & stones, just as I knew they would be. The little strand of Noah"s Carico is sweet too. Of course John"s Carico jocklaw necklace has been around my neck, mostly, since it arrived. I have to take it off for another good look throughout the day, it is a powerfully beautiful piece. It takes me to good places, it does. It"s the forever strand, and very very special to me.

Pat D. April 23, 2008 Comments: The package just arrived safely! The bracelet and pendant are both gorgeous! Thanks for the beautiful packaging and fast shipping!

Leslie S. Kling April 23, 2008 Comments: Your jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. Still looking for that perfect gaspeite pendant. Barb April 20, 2008 Comments: Your website is fantastic. I love stopping by to see what"s new.

Virginia Williamson March 25, 2008 Comments: About seven years ago I found the Skystone site. I don"t know what is best about being a Skystone client but here are a few reasons that I am: the knowledgeableness of the owner, the complete integrity, the perfect service, the gorgeous offerings, most of which are unique in the true sense of the word, that is one-of-a-kind. The only negative is the endless temptation - but as I love being surrounded by beauty, I cheerfully give in to the temptation. I have never had reason to regret anything purchased from Skystone.

Donna March 19, 2008 Comments: I got my Cadman Gaspeite bracelet this morning-thanks for the super-fast shipping-and I love it! The stones are incredible! Thank you for the beautiful packaging also. I"ll keep looking for a lapis cuff on your site, plus perusing all the other beautiful pieces.

Nancy March 18, 2008 Comments: I wanted you to know that the Kai Gallagher bracelet arrived. It is beautiful...looks great on my wrist, and fits perfectly, Noah did a superb job of sizing it down for my small wrist. Thanks so much!

Ellen March 09, 2008 Comments: GREAT Orvil Jack bracelet and love the little brown streak on the corner of the middle stone, and its a perfect fit!!! Thank you so much.

Tammy Hudson March 09, 2008 Comments: I got the OJ bracelet. It is wonderful. I love it!!! Just what I was hoping for. A beautiful piece of workmanship and material!!!!

Rick F. Feb 27, 2008 Comments: I had to email and tell you that I love the new Carico Lake ring. It is a stunner and perfectly matches a Carico bracelet I bought from you a few years ago. Thank you...

Alice Walker Feb 26, 2008 Comments: Received the amazing Orvil Jack bracelet today. WOW!! I love it. It is gorgeous indeed!!

Mary Feb 14, 2008 Comments: Hey you guys, they arrived! All I can say is YEEOWZZAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Jeri T Feb 07, 2008 Comments: I have finally done it. I have purchased the "collector bracelet" it has taken me about one year of reading and nerve to purchase. I was fast enough as well, as most of these lovely "rare" bracelets go so quickly. I had to sleep on it last night and thought it surely would be gone by morning. The feel, color, and provenance of turquoise and silversmithing are enchanting to me. I completely understand why collectors (especially in the early days) would stuff their pockets with cash to go out west. Thanks for providing reliable, good turquoise and information about the pieces you sell.

Melanie T. Jan 28, 2008 Comments: Just a note to say the earrings arrived today and they are all I hoped they would be…..thanks for your wonderful service.

Akiko Jan 16, 2008 Comments: The gorgeous Candelaria ring arrived today, thank you! The color is truly awesome, as you told me earlier, the "stone is a killer," it is such deep color (almost looks "imperial"!) as I"ve never seen before! It took me some time to buy this ring for one thing because the price and also the size of the stone, but this size of stone sits good on my middle finger I"m glad I had it sized for that finger. I have a rather "traditional" styled dark Morenci pendant, with somewhat similar dark color, I will probably wear these together Again thank you for bringing such a beautiful piece to us.

athy Book Jan 14, 2008 Comments: Purchased work from artist Lena Platero. Absolutely love it! Simple Elegance!

Diane Shelling Jan 12, 2008 Comments: I am thoroughly fascinated by your site with all the photos, information and history, etc and, want to see and learn more

Martha Jan 12, 2008 Comments: The magnificent bracelet arrived yesterday! It is so beautiful - I will treasure it for a long time!

Carol Jan 12, 2008 Comments: Meant to tell you that I lOVE the ring. It is beautiful, and suits my hand perfectly. Thank you so much! Looking forward to finding more . . . .

Bill S. Jan 09, 2008 Comments: The Terry Martinez bracelet arrived today. It is beautiful. It may be a little big, but it is too beautiful to return, I will squeeze it in a bit and it will be fine. I have been satisfied with everything I have ever ordered from you. Thanks, Bill

Janice T. Dec 31, 2007 Comments: ..just wishing you and yours a HAPPY NEW YEAR..hoping that it brings nothing but good...just admiring the beautiful jewelry..totally eye candy...helps me re-learn the different turquoises and where they come from...beautiful jewelry...

Todd Evans Dec 31, 2007 Comments: Thanks for the pics. I have been collecting high grade turq. for years and have found a lot of high grade that I was not sure what it was when I would buy people out or buy bulk from peoples estates etc. Looking at your page I can identify some now and put a name on it with a clear heart. Nice stuff, I try to just sell and make jewelry that is high grade, and I respect others that do. It can be aggravating when people get upset when you give them a price and they can"t understand why you want so much when they got some stabilized, treated junk for such a low price. Peace

Sara M. Dec 27, 2007 Comments: Just letting you know that the earrings arrived today and are *gorgeous*!! Everything I"d hoped and more. Thanks *so* much!!

janice truitt Dec 21, 2007 Comments: just passing thru and absorbing all the beautiful things into my mind...i was looking thru the turquoise descriptions and discovered what i believe is a bisbee turquoise bead that i bought on a whole string of large beads...looks like a starry night...thank you "SKYSTONE".....jltruitt, fort worth texas

Mark K. Dec 14, 2007 Comments: Your site is truly wonderful. You have successfully combined e-commerce with a genuine love for Turquoise that is both informative, as well as enchanting!

Sue Dec 11, 2007 Comments: I have been a lover of turquoise, Zuniland and most things SW for years. The only thing I don"t love are the chilis, I"m allergic. You have some fantastic jewelry that I can only drool about but also some lovely more affordable pieces. It has been years since I"ve been in Santa Fe but plan to make a trip this fall coinciding with the Balloon Festival. I will definitely include a trip to your store on my list of "Things to Do". Perhaps if I"m lucky, that will be "sale" or "specials" time. Thanks.

David Demarco Dec 09, 2007 Comments: Last year I got a beautiful Carico Lake bracelet from you and it is one of my wife"s treasured pieces. I got the Sleeping Beauty bracelet to match a concho belt I got her for her birthday and I just couldn"t pass up the pendant, even though I had orders not to get any jewelry this year. I never listen!! Your pieces are of exceptional quality and workmanship. Thanks again.

Nancy T. Dec 07, 2007 Comments: My bracelet is here and I love it. The turquoise is bluer than it looked in your photos, and I like the way it shows the characteristic silver morenci matrix. I am very happy with this choice for the stones, the fit, and the overall look of the piece. And you do a beautiful job with packaging. Happy first-time customer, Nancy.

Mrs. Lennox Dec 07, 2007 Comments: Well i am over the moon ..... i absolutely love the mermaid necklace..! i have never seen anything like it..so very pleased and its so beautifully crafted, i knew it was for me the first time i saw it, i will treasure this one. again thank you for your kind help to me and i will continue to be an avid watcher of the site.

Debbie Mann Dec 01, 2007 Comments: The pendant arrived and it is absolutely beautiful. The Carico Lake stone is by far the most gorgeous shade of lime green. I think that this is my favorite color of turquoise....but just about any turquoise is beautiful so I cannot be fussy.

steve booth Nov 28, 2007 Comments: A beautiful website that I visit often. I have been collecting and selling blue rock for forty years and your collection is truely amazing. I cut gem quality copper minerals and your prices and qualities are right on track with the finest designers in the world. Thank you for your vision. Looking forward to your next weeks additions. You will get me yet. xxx

Carrie Hoffman Nov 27, 2007 Comments: I just got the bracelet--really fast! As usual, it"s even better than in the pictures! The colors are great, and I can"t wait to try it with that little Phil bracelet I have, that has one little bit of coral in the middle. I"ll have to wear this one to my class on Wednesday... Thanks so much!

Marian Chase Nov 23, 2007 Comments: Thank you Thank you! I came SOOOO close to buying the one from last week but I told myself - "You really need to wait for a square sugilite stone". And, sure enough, there it was today. As you always say, the right stone comes to you! Must tell you, I am LOVING the extended sale and looking at the new treasures on Tuesday and Friday. You and Paul bring so much happines to all of us out here in the ether!

Cynthia Nov 21, 2007 Comments: You guys are wonderful! What a treat to find a place that shares such important information. Thank you.

Rich Nov 20, 2007 Comments: I have seen such fabulous turquoise jewelry, from the Pueblos, to street vendors, the Indian Market and exclusive galleries, from the turn of the century to the turn of the clock. The variscite necklace and earrings are fabulous, and match the cuff and ring already in the collection! I know of no better value than shopping here. Believe me folks, thee shall not be disappointed! I have found a jeweler thanks Julia & Paul and Merry Christmas (I know mine will be now).

Maya Cookings Nov 18, 2007 Comments: It was a little cool in Texas this morning and the dog was hurried along more than usual on her morning walk (not her favorite thing, especially on trash day when there are lots of good smells). The hurrying was not because of the cold, but because I had a note yesterday that my ring was waiting for me at the post office! Noah"s carico ring is wonderful and I am enjoying it already. I especially love the little stars next to the bezel. They make me think of the Texas Lone Star! I now have two of his carico rings to treasure forever. Like turquoise, he truly rocks! Thank you as well for the wonderful packaging. The lovely tissue, gift box and wrapping always make it an exciting pleasure to open and discover the treasure from the Land of Enchantment within!

Maggie L. Nov 16, 2007 Comments: I just ADORE my new coral bracelet. I"m just amazed at how true red the color is most coral that I have seen in jewelry tends toward casts of orange or pink. And the bracelet fit right out of the box with no adjustment! Thanks so much!

Jim Painter Nov 11, 2007 Comments: I received the Carico Lake bracelet today. The color is beautiful. Thank you for the bracelet pouches. Have a great holiday.

Jeffrey D. Sept 06, 2007 Comments: The Bruce Eckhardt coral cuff just arrived. The color of the bracelet just explodes in natural light - it almost glows like it's fluorescent. It has great depth, translucency and a glassy/pearly lustre. The bracelet is comfortable, with basic stampwork and appliques and is a perfect vehicle for the remarkable stones. Thank you for such good service and responding to all my e-mails!

James R. Aug 15, 2007 Comments: Ring and bracelet arrived today in fine shape, and Sally is absolutely delighted with them, as am I. The stones are marvelous--just the shade of damale we prefer, with excellent matrix. And the workmanship is stunning. You folks have helped make our 25th anniversary a very happy one. Thank you both very much for your time, trouble, and patience. We look forward to buying from you, again.

Jackie Rollins Aug 15, 2007 Comments: Its a PERFECT fit you guys and I absolutely love it!!! Thank you so much for all the great jewelry I now possess - I wear a piece of it every single day. My sister says I have the nicest collection of jewelry she has ever seen - and I have to agree with her.

I love how the stamping/metal work enhances the stone and doesn"t detract from it. Thank you so much for allowing me to own such a rare piece!

Jenny G. July 04, 2007 Comments: Just back from our trip to Santa Fe. Thanks for the names of the jewelers and also a good place to eat (Pasqual"s) while in Santa Fe. It was easy to find the stores on the plaza showcasing all the beautiful turquoise silver jewelry, one carrying some of the artist"s jewelry similar to what I have purchased from Skystone. It made me even more proud to know that I have made good choices when selecting turquoise from you knowing that you carry nothing but the very BEST!! My friend and I received our rings when we returned home and are very happy.

Karen S. June 13, 2007 Comments: WOW !!!!! WOW !!!!! WOW !!!!!! and more WOW ! ! ! ! ! ! The bracelets arrived - absolutely out of this World - - You were so right about the #8 stones, I can\"t stop looking at them - they seem to take on a different colour in light changes. They certainly have, what you call ZAT - The other Mint Green chalcosiderite stones are spectacular and even better than the photos (but you do take great photos, by the way). I\"m very happy, thanks so much!

Isabelle Freeman June 13, 2007 Comments: Thank you SO much for this quick, great service! The bracelet arrived in perfect time: She LOVES it - really, she\"s crazy about it. It\"s exactly right for her simple style. The stones are so unique. It looks just beautiful on her. Thanks again!

Jennifer Lowan June 09, 2007 Comments: I received your black earrings and they are great. Black can be a real statement but can quickly look heavy and “old”…..these earrings are funky, different and yet just right for many occasions…..I tried them on and you are right….surprisingly light for the size. The sale was an unexpected extra! Thank you very much and God bless you,

Hisashi-Tsuda May 02, 2007 Comments: I never thought I would see the day when I put my Rolex in the drawer, but I did. I also did not want to gush about this latest piece, but I tell you, it is just divine. I now have the Candelaria on one wrist, the Turquoise Mountain on the other. I just LOVE them both. The silver work is better than anyone else offers -- that is always a given with you -- but the stones have so much personality. Thank you again, another superb transaction with you.

Katie Richardson May 02, 2007 Comments: Oh, I just love all the new stuff you sent me. Im absolutely thrilled! Every time I wear my beautiful bracelet, ring, or pendant I always get compliments. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Jeannie April 29, 2007 Comments: I just received the bracelet. The fit is perfect -- it could have been made for me. The stone is superb -- drop dead gorgeous. Every time I catch sight of it in a mirror, or glance at my wrist, I feel delight. The silver work and silver design are magnificent. Quality all the way through, I couldn"t be happier.

William S. April 24, 2007 Comments: As always I"m amazed at the actual beauty of the pieces I"ve gotten from you. The Bisbee spiderweb bracelet gets more beautiful the more I wear it. I"ve never been disappointed with anything I order from your site. Your art is without equal.

Angela V. April 24, 2007 Comments: I received my order yesterday - the bracelet and turquoise is quite spectacular in person! My friend, who visited Santa Fe years ago when she was showing horses and bought some turqoise directly from craftsmen, remarked on how beautiful a piece it is. Never thought I would like the feel of Chinese turquoise, but this set is different from the ones I"ve seen before now, very intensely colored and strong. The bracelet has a good feel about it, lots of energy. The artist put a lot of concentration into it. I welcomed the bracelet and turquoise by burning some sage and giving thanks fot it, blessing the miners, silversmith, stone workers, and traders.

Richard W. April 24, 2007 Comments: Enjoy doing business with Skystone. The quality of your products is superb, and the professionalism is greatly appreciated in this day and age. We"ll stop in or call to say hello next time we"re in Santa Fe.

John T. April 21, 2007 Comments: I got the two #8 rings today. They are perfect. I collect variations of #8 turquoise. Thank you very much.

Georgia C. April 16, 2007 Comments: The bracelet is still attached to my wrist like an atomic reaction. I love the coral and turquoise-so cheery! So nice and heavy. Perfect - it just molded itself to my wrist in the oddest way! Wonders never cease. Thanks for your part in this "magical" world! Thank all your artists! And give each other a hug for me.

Lori April 14, 2007 Comments: Received the beautiful pendant and it is even more elegant in person. What a lovely piece to add to my collection and to wear with pride. In fact, I was out to dinner and all my friends immediately said "where did you get such a beautiful pendant?" Thanks for suggesting the chain, it is a nice length and very attractive with the pendant. Love everything I wear from Skystone!!

Patricia E April 11, 2007 Comments: I received the David Dear curtain earrings. I love them!! I wore them tonight, out to dinner with my husband. He stared at me all night. We"ve been married for 20 years, so I believe it was the earrings (and in fact he commented on them, which he never does!!). Thanks again - they are beautiful.

Noelle P. April 11, 2007 Comments: The lovely, lovely, no words can describe bracelet arrived today. I still can"t believe it. I love the sea, and to look into this stone is like looking down into the depths of the sea. I almost forget I have it on, it fits like it"s a part of my arm. This stone really *is* mystical, it radiates serenity. I look at it and think "dreams really *can* come true." To say that I am pleased doesn"t come anywhere near conveying what I feel. I am indebted to the Earth for creating this stone, to the artisan who cut it and the one who made the beautiful bracelet that holds it, and to you for offering it for sale and for making it possible for me to own it. Thank you so much from both of us.

Koichiro T. April 11, 2007 Comments: I"m pleased to inform you that the set has arrived safely from you. Thank you very much for your perfect shipping. By the way, what a beautiful stone! I don"t know how to express my thanks. In Japan, there are many Turquoise shops but I have never seen such a splendid stone, so I"d like to say how grateful I am to get this set. I will long treasure this. :-)

Amanda J. April 11, 2007 Comments: Just wanted to say how much I loved the Albert Jake Morenci ring. It"s gorgeous! Ron loved it too and it fit!!! Thank God the sizing worked out. Thank you again for your efforts in getting his gift sized and sent to me in time for his big 50th birthday.

Patty Mackay April 03, 2007 Comments: The ring and the earrings arrived today and I was like child in a candy store, carefully and slowly opening the package. I"m astounded at the beauty and how well matched all the stones are, in both color and shape. I will wear the pendant, earrings and rings with pride. I really love everything I"ve gotten from you and will check back often.

Loretta Clark April 03, 2007 Comments: I love the sky stone. My mother was a collector, and an artist from N.M. I appreciate any information I can get. Your site is a blessing.

Mary McGinnis March 31, 2007 Comments: My three items purchased in the sale arrived today. I am so pleased with my purchases. I wear a lot of corals and oranges so the spiney oyster shell necklace was absolutely the piece to add special interest to my outfits. The Turquoise Mt. bracelet is a great addition to my growing collection as is the Royston choker. Thanks so much for making it all happen. I get compliments on everything I wear from Skystone. Best regards, Mary.

Lauren Williams March 24, 2007 Comments: Julia & Paul, I was having an awful day today at work (thank god its my last day at this place) and left early and I went to my PO Box and lo and behold my red mountain bracelet was there. Believe me, that put me in much better spirits and it is much nicer than the picture depicts. The blues in the bracelet are fabulous!! Thanx very very much and am wearing it to my new job tomorrow.

Terry Golding March 17, 2007 Comments: Thanks so very much for the exceptional jewelry I have bought from you over the past five years. Every piece is absolutely amazing. I NEVER thought I would find jewelry of this quality until I came across your website. It is very obvious that you are the reliable source for gem grade turquoise and perfect jewelry. The pieces I have bought from you by John Huntress, Bruce Eckhardt, Kai Gallagher and the best Navajo artists are the absolute cream of this industry there’s no comparison. And of course, you are honest and a person of integrity, which makes a huge difference to your customers. Very best wishes!

marcella harrison March 14, 2007 Comments: I love the necklace and pendant I purchased from you and enjoy looking at the beautiful pieces of jewelry (especially the necklaces and pendants) on your site. I always get compliments when I wear the pieces purchased from you.

Ellen E. March 14, 2007 Comments: It"s spectacular and it fits me like a glove... like it was made for me (which, I feel, it was!). I love it!! Thanks so much, Ellen.

Jennie March 13, 2007 Comments: Thank you, thank you. I am thrilled and excited to be the owner of such a beautiful, one of a kind ring. Please thank Noah for me and let him know I have been admiring this ring for two weeks, even dreaming about it in my sleep and picturing how it looks on my hand. It has been speaking to me every day, and calling out to me, to the point I decided I had to make a decision and soon. It may not bring prosperity to me but harmony and appreciation for mother earth and good health is good enough for me. Also, again thank you for being so responsive to all my questions, e-mails, etc. I feel very comfortable making this purchase with you after reading about your business and everything you offer on the website. I am hooked! Now I just have to start saving for the next purchase.

mary March 06, 2007 Comments: best of the best noah pfeffer

Yvonne Savoy Jan 23, 2007 Comments: Beautiful bracelets! I purchased two and it"s a tough decision which one to wear! This is some of the most beautiful turquoise I have seen!

val hoeft Jan 08, 2007 Comments: Best Turquoise in town ! THANKS for your great sales personality! Val Hoeft Looking foward to MORE new items!

Martha C. Dec 30, 2006 Comments: The beautiful Eckhardt/Piaso chinese turquoise ring arrived yesterday and it is just as you described it - magnificent! It looks fantastic with my Darryl Bacenti bracelet and Derrick Gordon earrings, both also with chinese stones. Thank you again for offering such lovely things to those of us not fortunate enough to live in the expansive beauty of New Mexico! Happy Holidays!

Donald Tesh Dec 21, 2006 Comments: The package arrived yesterday, another beautiful piece from Skystone. Thank you so much for gift wrapping it.

Sharon K. Dec 21, 2006 Comments: I just received your package. I love the bracelet and I love the earrings. I am thrilled. Again, I thank you for your excellent service and all the trouble you have gone to for me. I am a customer forever.

Bo Dec 17, 2006 Comments: That Blacky O"Connell sure is one fine lookin cat. Will he ever pose with your beautiful jewelry?

Jon Dec 09, 2006 Comments: Simply the best! The Website is wonderful, the merchandise is magnificent, the service is stupendous, and to top it all off, the jewelry arrived beautifully gift wrapped.

Carol Rinnerly Dec 06, 2006 Comments: Julia and Paul, Thank you!! You have lovely pieces on your website. I was just and still am, looking online for dry creek turquoise, and found your extremely interesting and informative site. Very interesting reading and great pictures. Am very excited to receive the necklace I bought and will definately visit your website again! Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!! Carol

Carol Dec 06, 2006 Comments: Received my necklace yesterday(exceptionally quick response and turn-around time!) and it"s beyond beautiful. I have not been able to take it off!! I do not usually wear jewelry to work and have collected some much treasured pieces over the years, but this is my favorite. The Pilot Mountain turquoise is stunning, I have to keep touching it, Dennis Hogan is an amazing artist and it"s so evident that he cares about the quality of his work. I thank you and wish you Happy Holidays, Carol Trumbly

Mary Dec 02, 2006 Comments: This final day of 2006 marks the end of my seventh year as a Skystone Trading Co. customer. My collection of natural, North American turquoise has accumulated slowly and carefully to a sight amazing to behold and precious to possess. Julia and I seem to have similar taste, so I"ve been fortunate to have her selections to choose from and her expertise to guide me. I know from experience that Skystone has the finest and most consistent quality available on the web. The value here is also excellent. I don"t ever worry about a piece I"ve ordered from Julia. She tracks down the best that is available and offers it at fair prices. Happy New Year to Skystone!

Kathy Tinney Nov 29, 2006 Comments: Thank you for offering a layaway plan. There are those of us who appreciate the beauty of native american jewlery, but simply can"t afford the higher priced items. This is a way for ALL of us to be able to make a purchase. I wish more sites could offer the same. Thanks again!

Susie W. Nov 24, 2006 Comments: Just received my two new bracelets and wanted to take a moment to express my awe, again, over these incredible pieces of art! Thanks to you, and all who have such gifts to give. I am speechless (well, obviously not totally)!

Dianne Oct 31, 2006 Comments: Julia and Paul are truly experts in their field and it shows how much they really love what they are doing. Fantastic authentic jewelry selection, good prices and they even package everything so beautifully that it is like Christmas when your treasure arrives! Best site on the web!!! Can"t say enough about the great customer service, follow-thru. Leaves you with a feeling that you"ve know them as old friends for a very long time.

Deb C. Oct 27, 2006 Comments: Incredible website! Fabulous jewelry! Checked site out after reading about it in In Style magazine. I look forward to making a purchase soon.

Sheryl Hansen Oct 26, 2006 Comments: I got my Ray Hill turquoise bracelet today and just love it! The range of colors from the Carico Lake mine are so beautiful. It fits but I need to make a slight adjustment - will use the instructions on your site (I"m not used to wearing a cuff). It has been a pleasure-you even package your jewelry beautifully. I will enjoy and treasure my 1st piece of turquoise. You must love what you do because you do it so well. Hope you continue for a long time and I will check your site often. With warm thoughts-Sheryl from Mpls

Anthony Vergietti Oct 25, 2006 Comments: My wife brought to my attention that you guys were listed in In Style magazine this month. Congrats! That should mean a lot more business for you! It also made it look like I knew what I was doing when I purchased something from you for my wife.

Kathy Milligan Oct 25, 2006 Comments: Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I received the bracelet today and Wow! It"s perfect! I did not have to adjust much at all. I guess I need to stick with a medium size. My wrist is 6.25, so with an extra inch that puts me about in the medium range. The stone and workmanship in this bracelet is beautiful. Mr. Cadman is clearly a very talented artist.

Diana V. Oct 22, 2006 Comments: Congrats on being included in In Style Magazine’s top 10 sites for buying jewelry on line!!! It is well-deserved recognition!

Linda Seretny Oct 20, 2006 Comments: I wanted to let you know that I received the Carico Lake ring I ordered this week. I also wanted to let you know that the ring is stunningly beautiful! Your service, beautiful packaging and product is certainly a "class operation". I also would say that the woman I spoke with on the telephone was extremely gracious and made me feel very comfortable about ordering from you. I certainly intend to do more business with you - it"s been a pleasure. With Warm Regards, Linda

Suzy Perron Oct 19, 2006 Comments: I don"t know if you remember me or not, but I am one of your old customers... the one from near New Orleans. I"ve been meaning to write to you to congratulate you on your new partnership and to give you a few "attaboys" on the both the improvements on your website and the still unbelievable quality of the stuff that you"ve been offering. I"ve so enjoyed perusing the beautiful pictures of your jewelry and I"m sure that sometime in the future I"ll be ordering things from you again. The economy around here is not really great so for the moment, I"ll have to be content with pretending that your website is but a museum where things can be admired but not purchased. Well, come to think of it, I"ve always thought of Skystone as a bit of a museum, one with awesome treasures and wonderful information and wisdom, so that is not too much of a stretch. Not to worry, though, things are slowly returning to normal (whatever that is), and we do have so much to be thankful for.

J. Gorham Oct 17, 2006 Comments: I received my necklace and as always, it is even better than it looked on line! I like the fact that even if it is a less expensive piece, it still is a QUALITY piece.

Vicki Oct 17, 2006 Comments: Thank you for the fabulous #8 ring. The sale was excellent. This is my first #8 piece and I LOVE it. The turquoise is very alive. Your jewelry is the best!!!!

A. Holder Oct 12, 2006 Comments: I wanted you to know how much I love my new bracelet. It fits perfectly and is so "me". It has such a pretty contrast of colors and is beautifully designed. I"m thrilled. It won"t be leaving my wrist for a while!

L Hanford Oct 12, 2006 Comments: Thank you for your encouraging words about the recently purchased Castledome bracelet. Other items have been great, but this was, as advised, truly special. As an artist I am sensitive to color, but I feel I can now say I have seen "blue". If art is really an upwelling of pure spirit, these stones must be the palette of the earth. And that, in union with art from the hands of a man is a rare privilege to see. Thank you for making these lovely things available to everyone.

Theresa Holland Oct 11, 2006 Comments: Thank you, thank you, on all matters. If Philip ever decides to make smaller inlay turquoise earrings, I am in line! I want to tell you that I love your sales and that I look forward to them. Also, your website is one of the best in the business. Thanks for providing such a wonderful place to do business. Your customer service excels. I look forward to a long relationship. Blessings and best wishes, Theresa

Leslie Sept 10, 2006 Comments: I am a relative of the Elquist family of Battle Mountain. I have some jewelry pieces that were handed down and would like to purchase more. Please let me know when you have Blue Gem pieces for sale.

Monika Z. Sept 09, 2006 Comments: Thank you for putting up the interesting page about how heishi beads are made! And all the beautiful artwork. I am an artist myself, and I create jewelry and many other things from all natural materials, like bone, antler, horn and stone. Everything is hand made. Hand made things are just uncomparable to the (mostly imported) mass production. And it is great to do this kind of artwork! I wish you and your artists the success and recognition you deserve. Sincerely Monika Z.

Jim Jorden Sept 08, 2006 Comments: Your web site is simply amazing! The pages are beautiful, the jewelry is stunning, and it’s the best source of turquoise information on the web.

Karen K. Sept 04, 2006 Comments: Gorgeous jewelry----amazing colors. Dear Santa, I need several of these pieces!

Judi G Aug 31, 2006 Comments: Just a quick Thank you for the Fab bracelet! It is just perfect! Always a pleasure to buy from you!!

Gina H. Aug 30, 2006 Comments: Today I received my ring and the fit is great. Noah does excellent work and I was very pleased with the swift turnaround time. The Damale Mine is my currant favorite. Of the three pieces with Damale that I own, every stone is completely unique. The ring is a true treasure. Thanks again for your wonderful website and your extra service of sizing. You assured me that my ring would be handled with care and everything was just as you said.

Vexen Aug 20, 2006 Comments: A great piece of work. I have found your page and liked it so much. A fantastic site, and brilliant effort. I love the layouts and keep up the very good job! I'm always happy with everything I've gotten.

Rosemary Aug 08, 2006 Comments: Julia and Paul, my bracelet arrived today, & I really love it. Thanks so much for finding the Charlie Favour bracelet for me. Without a doubt your jewelry is the best available anywhere, the service is superb, & the website is terrific. When you want the best, shop here!

Pamela Kinnard Misener Aug 01, 2006 Comments: I just bought a beautiful belt made by Sunshine Reeves and saw your website. Please put me on your list to receive your newsletter. Thanks.

Carolyn R. July 22, 2006 Comments: just to let you know my order arrived and the items are beautiful and just as I expected. Also, your website just gets better and better with a wonderful selection of items and beautiful stones. So glad I found you those many years ago and I wish you and Paul success always.

Debra McClellan July 22, 2006 Comments: I got home this morning and found my bracelet waiting for me. What a beautiful piece of workmanship and turquoise!!! It is truly fabulous and I want to thank you so much for accommodating me in my request. Thanks so much!

Martina Squier July 22, 2006 Comments: Looking for Dennis Hogan Pilot Mountain Turquoise necklaces!! I love all of the items I have purchased from Skystone!

Michele L. July 15, 2006 Comments: Unlike other sites, and there are a few good ones, it is clear that you have a real heart for fine stones. That is why I keep coming back. The 10-Mine necklace is absolutely stunning. I cannot thank you enough.

Linda R. July 15, 2006 Comments: Thank you so much for your quick reply and for issuing the credit. I am sorry that they did not work out but I am sure that I will find something else. The bracelet shown in the top photo on your "Whats New" page is beautiful. I will be waiting for your posting this afternoon to get all of the details. Thank you again for your wonderful service --

Mark H. July 04, 2006 Comments: We received the Albert Jake Carico Lake turquoise ring, and I presented it to my wife today for her birthday. It is fabulous, she loves it and Noah did an excellent job resizing it to a size 6. Many thanks.

Mary Damsted June 29, 2006 Comments: I just got my earrings and necklace and I just love them. How nice to get them on sale!! I collect jewelry by Geneva Apachito and this will be a great addition. Have a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Juliet Packer June 24, 2006 Comments: The photos were beautiful, but the necklace in person is unbelievable! Thank you so much. Best, Juliet

Elizabeth Wolcott June 24, 2006 Comments: WOW and double WOW! The Damale 3-stone is beautiful and am wearing it now as I am typing this! I have a nice little collection of Damale turquoise from you and love all of it.Thank you very much!!!

Koichiro Tomiya June 24, 2006 Comments: Today was a day that required a jolt of turquoise to make it better. Fortunately, my sale purchases arrived to give me just what I needed! Of course, all of the pieces are just exquisite. You were right about the Orvil Jack necklace: it is very substantial in feel and glowy in color -- everything OJ should be. The Chambless earrings are a beautiful color and the shape is lovely. His work is so special -- I always feel beautiful when I wear his things. But, the Nevada Blue bracelet is the real showstopper. The stones are little gems, beautifully showcased in the sleek style of the bracelet. It is a worthy addition to my collection of turquoise treasures. As ever, thanks so much for bringing beauty and a needed burst of turquoise happiness to me! P.S. Love the colorful boxes!!!

Linda Ohrling June 24, 2006 Comments: Just received my first two piece of jewelry from you...and they are wonderful...even better than pictured. Thanks again.

Sheila Peters June 15, 2006 Comments: I just wanted to let you know that I have received my bracelet and I love it! I was out of town last week for a few days and when I came back on Friday, it was here waiting for me. I am SO happy with it. It fits beautifully and the turquoise is, in my opinion, even better than portrayed on the web site. Thank you for all of your help with my sizing questions. For some reason, I just feel good wearing it. Take care and thank you for bringing such artistry to the East coast!

Georgia C. June 04, 2006 Comments: I just have to tell you that this necklace is one of the MOST beautiful pieces of jewelry I have ever seen in my life !! It is absolutely magnificent. The colors of the turquoise and design of the necklace are extraordinary. I love browsing your website. You carry the most exquisite pieces. Since I live in the southeast I dont often get to see pieces like this in person. Thanks for making them available on the Internet and describing them sooooo well and taking great photographs.

Judith Glassman May 30, 2006 Comments: I love Julias enthusiastic descriptions. The jewelry you carry is extraordinary!!

Vic May 30, 2006 Comments: The Orvil Jack necklace and earrings set are just awesome! Photos never capture this type of turquoise. I love the different depths of color and the implication of movement. Everyone should have a piece in Orvil Jack, I feel special to have these.

Vicki May 30, 2006 Comments: I LOVE my turquoise mountain bracelet. The bracelet was so beautiful in pictures but is even more FABULOUS in person! The turquoise is alive looking and feeling, it glows. No one has better Native American jewelry than SKYSTONE!! Thank you so much Julia!

Lynn May 30, 2006 Comments: Wow. I can see why Harry Begays jewelry is so sought-after! These stones are GORGEOUS and the workmanship is amazing, unbelieveable.You know, not to go on and on, but there have been only 2 times when Ive put on a bracelet and it felt almost like someone was gently holding my wrist, in a comforting manner. This is one of those times... Thanks!!!!! Youve got the best stuff!

Sheila Donnelly May 25, 2006 Comments: I wanted to let you know that the resized Carico Lake ring arrived today. It fits my middle finger perfectly and I cannot express how beautiful it is. I know that many people would not understand this, but I can’t describe the feeling I have when I wear these stones. Thank you so much for bringing us (you know I mean me!) affordable, beautiful turquoise.

Sandy May 21, 2006 Comments: I have to say that being being born and raised in Utah and having relatives who lived in UT,AZ, & CA who were/are lovers of Navajo and Zuni jewelry, I inherited the same adoration of "home-made" jewelry. I couldnt believe I had actually found the REAL thing online, you are it. If your site were a catalogue, I would have soaked it with drool. Theres a backwards compliment for you! Keep it coming, Ive learned so much from you!

Donna (aka: Painted Lady) May 16, 2006 Comments: AWESOME! I came across your turquoise during a seach. Absolutely beautiful! Donna

Joanna W. April 21, 2006 Comments: My bracelet is truly a treasure, another beautiful bracelet from Skystone that I just love! Thank you for the wonderful service and beautiful packaging!

Marjorie Baker April 06, 2006 Comments: I received the Harry Begay bangle bracelet with the single Carico Lake turquoise stone on Friday, and I just love it. The weight of the bracelet is wonderful as is the stamping and the stone. It fits as if it were made for me. I just wanted to tell you how very much Im enjoying wearing it. Thank you!

Yvonne Willman April 06, 2006 Comments: The ring is here! It is a perfect fit, and soooo comfortable! I love it! And your packaging is just beautiful--like a gift. I am so happy to have another piece by Phil (and Skystone), and I will always remember meeting him. Thank you so much!

Jeff Bauner April 06, 2006 Comments: What can I say - the Persian cross is even more beautiful in person than your photographs. Amanda flipped out when she saw it. Its definitely the ultimate showcase cross - of the three cross pendants Ive bought from you, its my favorite!!! The chain is exactly what I need. Thanks again for the fantastic jewelry and excellent service. Ill be sad when the last of Persian jewelry disappears from your website.

Pam Moffitt April 06, 2006 Comments: Jewelry looks beautiful. Now if I can just make up my mind.

Linda March 30, 2006 Comments: I found your site to be very informative. I was looking for information regarding old Burnham Spiderweb Turquoise. I have an exquisite Squash Blossom with matching bracelet and ring that I have had for about 25 years.

Karen Rahan March 30, 2006 Comments: Wow, I cant believe how quickly this package arrived! Im already wearing the earrings and bracelet--of course, theyre fabulous! Its very hot here, so I have my hair up, the better to show off my earrings! Theyre really stunning--just right for my small earlobes, too. And the bracelet is lovely--dainty, but with some heft. Thanks so much!

Deb McClure March 04, 2006 Comments: Hauntingly beautiful silver and stones. The turquoise glows from within. Now that I have found you, I will be back frequently. Thank you for representing such quality!

robert (snowgoose) Stevener March 04, 2006 Comments: I have seen many things represented as native american, but what you show is the real deal. Thank you!. I came looking for a bracelet for a new born to my family It is maybe the only thing you dont have. Got to keep looking. Great site I willl be back!! Bob

Marjorie Walter Feb 16, 2006 Comments: I just got done window shopping through the skystone site, and I am literally droling over all those beautiful stones! I have never seen such amazing work all together in one place! I am in awe of your fabulous taste and abilities!

Lin Young Feb 10, 2006 Comments: Wow, how beauty travels. I was directed to your site by a friend in China. Such wonderful pieces of Art . So inspiring.

Joyce Braunheim Jan 28, 2006 Comments: Love your jewelry. Can you e-mail me when you add new items. I love crosses and earrings.

Michael Jan 22, 2006 Comments: Silversmith, gem collector, have a special place inside me that resonates strongly with turquoise. I'm happy I stumbled on this site. Wonderful collection!

Suzanne Takeda Jan 07, 2006 Comments: It was a distinct pleasure meeting you recently here on Kauai with Paul. Thank you for your knowledgable information on my turquoise jewelry and your beautiful examples of Sugilite and Zuni bracelets. Hopefully you will be returning to our Island soon. Much Aloha to you and Paul. Aloha and Mahalo, Suzanne

Jo Ann de Larrazabal Jan 01, 2006 Comments: I've always loved Turquoise but didnt know much about its properties and origins until I discovered your site. I am more fascinated with it now and look forward to using it in my jewelry making.

Julia Gelbart Dec 28, 2005 Comments: I love my new silver cuff...it fits my small wrist perfectly and it can be dressy or sporty depending on how I feel that day. Thanks, and have a great holiday!

Denise Vanderburgh Dec 28, 2005 Comments: I love my new silver cuff...it fits my small wrist perfectly and it can be dressy or sporty depending on how I feel that day. Thanks, and have a great holiday!

Laura Wilson Dec 01, 2005 Comments: Love the new bracelet! The stones in the Pilot Mountain/Morenci are so blue that they dont look real. What a fantastic combination! Love the red ribbons on the boxes too! You guys constantly amaze me with the variety and quality of your jewelry, and I am never, never disappointed when I get something from you. Keep it coming!

Sandra Perron Nov 10, 2005 Comments: I have but one word for you: "exquisite!" That bracelet is exactly what I wanted, (but you already knew that, didnt you?), and I really love it! I appreciate your attentiveness to my request as well as your promptness in mailing the bracelet to me. I am thrilled!

Diana Rasmussen Nov 10, 2005 Comments: Just got my gigunda box-o-turquoise and I closed my door so as to savor each piece as it was unveiled. All I can say is WOW! The Orvil Jack bracelets and the Damele necklace and earrings in particular look so much more beautiful in person! It is almost like they just come alive. The other items are each superior in craftmanship and beauty as well! I am always so very pleased whenever I receive my purchases from you. As ever, thanks for all you do for us turquoise cherishers!

Sandy Strunk Nov 07, 2005 Comments: Julia, As usual, your selection is superb! Thank you so much for your consistent pursuit of quality Native American jewelry. The artists whose works you bring to us are exceptional and its a privilege to be able to purchase their work. Over the years each piece Ive purchased only grows more beautiful and loved!

Patrice Mavricos Oct 29, 2005 Comments: After many (not very subtle) hints, I was fortunate enough to receive one of your bracelets as a gift - a beautiful Albert Jake bracelet with Orvil Jack and sugilite. Absolutely love the bracelet - incredible quality and truly one of a kind. Your jewelry is always superb.

Madelyn Johnston Sept 28, 2005 Comments: The old Kingman bracelet arrived yesterday and when I unwrapped it and pulled it out of its cloth envelope, I was immediately struck by the color of the stones!! "Wow" is right. I am in love with this piece -- I am wearing it right now. The picture just did not do these gems justice. I have been wanting old Kingman of this quality and was so delighted to find this bracelet on your web site.

Benny Armijo Sept 27, 2005 Comments: As a silversmith of forty years it is especially joyful to see the continual and beautiful jewelry that you feature through your store. On my next visit to Santa Fe I hope that I can visit with you. Over these many years I have collected many customers, not just customers, but friends. I have begun to head them in your direction. I know they will be pleased. Best regards to all, Sincerely Ben Armijo

Donna Straka Sept 01, 2005 Comments: I received my Albert Jake bracelet today and it is outstanding! I cant stop looking at it. Thank you for providing a place to shop where you know your going to get beautiful and natural turquoise.

P. Pitcairn Aug 24, 2005 Comments: Thank you for carrying such beautiful merchandise and for the continuing updates. The last listings were superb. If I had had the money I would have purchased six things on the preview page alone! I have personally found everything that I have purchased from you in the past to far exceed the photos and descriptions on the web. I have no fear in buying anything from you.

Golden Marcella Wilson Aug 08, 2005 Comments: I have collected and worn North American Indian jewelry for 55 years. I love it. I just found your site on the computer and it looks to be wonderful. Im looking forward to searching through it.

William Murdoch July 21, 2005 Comments: Grace Wintle just sent me this page on your site. I think its fantastic! Ive enjoyed your site for a long time and often refer my customers to your site not only so they can see what top end turquoise looks like but also to purchase your top end jewelry. I and my partners have a couple of small claims and were hoping Ive been dealing with ( prospecting, mining, cutting and cabbing) for over 30 years and your site is the best thing Ive seen.

Suzy July 16, 2005 Comments: I received my Philip Chambless bracelet this afternoon, and I cannot wait to tell you how beautiful it is! Even seeing the great pictures that you provide and the wonderfully detailed description could not have prepared me for the surprising and unbelievable level of craftsmanship that Mr. Chambless has attained. I am an artist myself for the last 20 years and can appreciate how difficult it is to created something that is so simple, yet so perfect. I am very happy, thank you very much.
