This stunning necklace features an incredibly gorgeous high grade piece of Turquoise from the Royston mine, in Tonopah, Nevada. -A mine highly favored by turquoise collectors. This variety of turquoise is becoming increasingly rare, as such its value will continue to grow. This stone has been a cherished part of our collection for several years, as it is an exceptionally beautiful example of the best qualities of Royston Turquoise.
The Royston turquoise cabochon is set in Fine Silver, atop a Sterling Silver base with handmade floral elements. Each leaf and flower was individually handcrafted entirely from scratch. First the design is drawn and sawn out of plain Sterling Silver sheet, then it is hand stamped, soldered, filed, formed, sanded, and polished, making it completely one of a kind, rather than mass produced from a mold and cast.
The pendant attaches directly to a decorative chain, with an adjustable length of 16" or 18" and secure lobster clasp. All connections have been soldered closed for durability. The back of the pendant has been stamped with 925 (Sterling Silver Hallmark) and artist's initials (AB) and given a high polish finish. Pendant and chain are entirely comprised of solid Sterling and Fine Silver.
Truly a one of a kind collector's piece for lovers of American Turquoise.
