This terrific Necklace showcases an impressive 29-Stone Turquoise, Peridot and Sterling Silver Pendant by Santa Fe artist Dan Dodson. The 29 stones are a combination of Turquoise and Peridot, with the 12 Peridot stones cut as faceted teardrops and the 17 Turquoise stones cut in squares, teardrops and rounds. The sparkling Peridot is an attractive counterpoint to the olive and fern green Turquoise. The perimeter stones are decorated with 20 handcrafted Sterling Silver Balls, adding artistic detail and shine. The stones are set on Sterling Silver Sheet that has been meticulously cut to follow the outline of the Stones. The piece drapes from an oversized Sterling Silver Bail which is attractively stamped with radiant Suns. The piece is stamped on the back with the artist's hallmark and "Sterling."
We've paired the Pendant with 2 Strands of 10mm Royston Boulder Turquoise Rounds, mirroring the color tones in the Pendant. Hues include turquoise blue, blue-green, fern green, and golden brown. The Royston is combined with 6mm Green Garnet Faceted Rounds, 4mm peridot Fire Polished Glass, and 8mm moss green Czech Luster Glass Coin Beads. The Fire Polished Glass gives off a subtle sparkle. The Stones are highlighted by six 11mm Handmade Sterling Silver Rounds, which have caps at the top and bottom of the Bead and have been stamped with small geometric designs. The Sterling is beautifully crafted and enhances the artistry of the design. At the top of the Necklace the 2 strands of Royston Boulder Turquoise transition to 2 strands of metalllic periodot Fire Polished Glass, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring wearer comfort. The Necklace isi finished with a Hammered Sterling Silver Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The piece weighs 135 grams and is 21-1/2 inches long plus the Pendant, which is 3-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches including the 1-inch Bail (when wearing, a vertical length of about 11 inches).
