Tap photo for full-size image

This piece brings together the blue of Kingman turquoise with the vivid oranges, reds, and purples of spiny oyster shell. In this heart-shaped piece, those colors represent moving tide lines — ocean energy, desert color, and a thread of purple running through it all.


The combination is often associated with strength, courage, and luck, pairing the protective qualities of turquoise with the resilience of the shell. It creates a piece that feels both grounded and alive, shaped by water, time, and heart.
