Sam’s grandfather started the ‘Vine’ design and used it for showpieces commissioned for major fashion shoots. Sam has taken the ‘Vine’ and simplified it for daily wear. This particular set uses some of the most electrifying natural Blue Gem turquoise you will ever see. It is beyond the color standard used in many pieces on today’s market. Sam only uses top grade turquoise. To use less in creating art is pointless. To those who have not seen turquoise of this hue, the necklace grabs attention and holds it. Sam’s silverwork is superb…it just doesn’t come any better. Mixing the two – Sam and his turquoise – you are sure to have one of the finest pieces of jewelry made by an American craftsman.
