This beautiful Necklace showcases a Kingman Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant by Nevada Silversmith Jim Daggett. The Kingman Stone is a rich turquoise blue with bronze matrix, and has been meticulously cut and polished. The Stone is wrapped in handcrafted Sterling Silver Bezel and set on polished, Sterling Silver Plate. The Pendant drapes from a linear Sterling Silver Bail. It is stamped on the back with the Artist's Hallmark and "Sterling."
We've paired the Kingman Pendant with color-matched Turquoise cut into 10mm Diamonds. The Diamonds are uncommon and add great character to the Necklace design. They are placed along strands of 3mm Olive Shell Heishi along with a number of Czech Glass elements, including:
- Light blue & Capri blue Czech Druk Glass Rounds (6 & 8mm);
- Translucent blue & gold Czech Glass Saucers (8-by-9.5mm);
- Blue Apatite Rounds (4mm);
- Halo Shadows, golden brown, bronze & translucent blue Czech Glass Faceted Ovals & Bicones (4mm);
- Smoke tan Faceted Glass Rondelles (4.5-by-5.5mm).
The Glass adds color depth, translucency and subtle sparkle to the design. At the top of the Necklace the 3 strands of Turquoise, Shell Heishi & Czech Glass transition to 3 strands of turquoise & platinum Seed Beads, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring a comfortable fit. The Necklace is finished with a Platinum Silver Toggle Clasp, and adorned with a Southwest Designs Silver Charm. The piece weighs 60 grams and is 19 inches long plus the Pendant, which is 2-1/8" by 7/8" including the 5/8" Bail.
Note: Some of the photos show dark smudges on the Pendant's Silver surround; these are reflections only. The Pendant Sterling Silver is bright, polished and shining.
