This eye-catching Necklace showcases a Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant. The Turquoise Stone was cut to create convex and concave areas, then polished to a soft sheen. It is wrapped in Sterling Silver Bezel that follows the Stone's contours, and attached to Sterling Silver Plate. The upper part of the Pendant is subtly oxidized and adorned with 4 lengths of shining Sterling Silver Square Wire, creating an attractive contrast. The Pendant Drapes from a Sterling Silver Cylinder Bail that is enhanced with a Round Turquoise Stone. The piece is stamped on the back with "925," which signifies Sterling Silver.
We've paired the Pendant with 2 strands of Arizona Morenci Turquoise Nuggets. The Nuggets are approximately 5-by-7mm in dimension and are color matched to the Pendant, displaying Capri Blue hues. They are beautifully shaped and polished. The Turquoise is complemented by 4mm Stamped Sterling Silver Rounds and several styles of Czech Glass, including:
- Translucent Blue & Gold Czech Glass Saucers (8-by-9mm);
- Bronze & transparent Green Czech Fire Polished Glass Faceted Ovals, (4 & 3mm); and
- Aqua Picasso Czech Glass Rondelles (3-by-4mm).
These elements add color depth, design interest and subtle sparkle. At the top of the Necklace the Morenci Turquoise Nuggets transition to 3mm Fire Polished Glass Ovals, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring a comfortable fit. The Necklace is finished with a Sterling Silver Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The piece weighs 72 grams and is 18-3/4 inches long plus the Pendant, which is 2-1/4 inches by 1-5/8 inches including the 5/16-inch Bail.
Note: The matrix in the Turquoise Pendant stone is golden brown, not the dark gray shown in the photo.
