This striking Necklace showcases a Native American Kingman Turquoise and Sterling Silver Teardrop-Shaped Pendant. The Stone is natural deep blue Turquoise with silver Iron Pyrite matrix, a striking and highly sought-after color from the Ithaca Peak mine outside of Kingman, AZ. It is meticulously cut and polished to a high sheen. The Turquoise is wrapped in Sterling Silver Wire that has been shaped into ornate curving patterns, then adorned with 20 Sterling Silver Balls. These elements are soldered to Sterling Silver Plate that has been cut to mirror the outside circumference of the pattern. The Pendant drapes from a Sterling Silver Circular Bail that has been artistically stamped. The piece is stamped on the back with "Sterling."
We've paired the Pendant with 2 strands of Turquoise Rounds, Apatite Rounds, Czech Fire Polished Glass and Sterling Silver. The 6mm Turquoise Rounds are color-matched to the Pendant stone, and have traces of golden-brown matrix. The 8mm Apatite stones exhibit a swirling blend of blues; they are paired with stamped Sterling Silver Rondelles and Bicones. There are 2 styles of Czech Glass, including 4mm medium-blue Faceted Bicones and 4mm translucent blue Faceted Rondelles. The Stones are highlighted by six 9mm Stamped, Diamond Cut Sterling Silver Rounds, adding designs interest and shine. At the top of the Necklace the Turquoise Rounds transition to 3mm transparent green Czech Fire Polished Glass Faceted Ovals, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring a comfortable fit. The Necklace is finished with a Stainless Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. This is an eye-catching piece with great versatility and appeal. The Necklace weighs 114 grams and is 20-5/8 inches long plus the Pendant, which is 3-1/4" by 1-5/8" including the 3/4" Bail.
