This elegant Necklace showcases an 8-Stone Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant by Nevada Silversmith Jim Daggett. The Pendant includes 4 Kingman and 4 Campitos Turquoise Stones, each wrapped in a raised Sterling Silver Bezel. The Turquoise is set on Sterling Silver Plate that has been shaped to encircle the Stones, and ornamented by 8 shining Sterling Silver Balls. At the center of the Pendant is a Reticulated Silver Disc, created by heating and then splashing molten Sterling Silver onto a work surface then cutting it to the desired shape. The process creates 100% pure Silver with attractive ridges and swirls, adding visual depth and shine. The Pendant drapes from a V-shaped Sterling Silver Cylinder Bail, and is stamped on the back with the artist's hallmark and "Sterling."
We've paired the Pendant with 3 strands of Arizona Turquoise Nuggets, which are color-matched to the Kingman and Campitos stones. They are a soft sky blue with gray matrix and approximately 6-by-9mm in dimension. The Turquoise is complemented by sparkling Aqua Picasso Fire Polished Glass Ovals, and highlighted by 16mm Handcrafted Sterling Silver Rondelle Beads and 11mm Sterling Silver Rounds. The blend of Silver and Turquoise is eye-catching. At the top of the Necklace the 3 strands of Turquoise Nuggets transition to Fire Polished Glass, streamlining the silhouette. The Necklace is finished with Sterling Silver Rounds and a Hammered Sterling Toggle Clasp, and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The Piece weighs 132 grams and is 18-1/2 inches long plus the Pendant, which is 3-3/4 inches by 2-1/8 inches including the 3/4-inch Bail (when wearing, a vertical length of about 10 inches).
