“The fact that I am a silversmith gives me a unique advantage over most in the retail turquoise industry. I know precisely how pieces are constructed and am a stickler for quality. This business isn’t about the numbers or the money for me. It’s about keeping the tradition alive with heirloom-quality treasures. So, corny I know, but turquoise is life over here.”

Turquoise Tuesday’s promise to their customers is simple – real turquoise, always and only. Handcrafted by Native American artisans, their jewelry comes from the state of New Mexico. This company began in July of 2018 on Instagram, and it started with weekly sales, on Tuesday of course.

Double J Turquoise was created by Jeannie McKee, wife to PRCA rodeo announcer and on-air personality Justin McKee and a true Native American cowgirl.

Traveling alongside Justin to rodeos across the country, each treasure is handpicked to showcase the artistry of talented Native American artists. Most, if not all items are signed by the artist. At Double J, you will find some of the most extravagant sets and more rare stones, truly helping you stand out in the crowd.

“Because of my upbringing on a ranch and my Native American heritage, I have always appreciated turquoise jewelry. For the last several years, Justin’s work with the Cowboy Channel requires our attendance at many of the top Western social events, where I keep a close eye on the latest styles. I handpick all of my jewelry from the most trusted and talented artists with the highest quality sterling silver and stones.”

Hannah Crandall

Originally from Earth, Texas, a small town in the Texas panhandle, I was raised around rodeo, agriculture, and the western lifestyle. With a degree from Texas A&M University, I have found a passion for promoting the lifestyle that made me who I am today. I am an experienced writer, marketer, and event professional with a strong desire to share the stories of those in our industry. When I’m not busy seeking out ways to promote the western way of life, I enjoy following those I care about around to rodeos, hunting, and going on runs with my blue-eyed, blue-merle Australian Shepherd.
