This stunning piece is inspired by the gorgeous Kingman turquoise center stone. Rich browns and soft sage greens remind me of the mysterious landscape of the high desert. Textured metal around the stone captures the unique characteristics of the turquoise and accented with varying colors of tourmaline in light to deep green bring out the colors within the turquoise.
Each stone is set in silver with a sterling silver backplate. 24k gold keum boo accents mimic the soft greens in the turquoise with varying green shaded tourmalines across the bottom with one 14k yellow gold dot. The chain is sterling silver with a 14k yellow gold hoop to add visual interest. It’s finished in a dark patina for stunning contrast.
Pendant hangs from an 18″ chain.
Mailed in a special jewelry gift box.

Care Instructions
Silver will naturally oxidize over time. I provide wipes that you can use on any jewelry I make. Commercial dips can be very harsh on surface treatments and porous stones. Try to avoid dipping any porous stones in the solution such as pearls, turquoise, variscites, opals, and jaspers. Q tips are great to get around the stones. If your piece has keum boo on it do not soak your piece in any jewelry dips. Usually a quick dip and immediate rinse in water with soap will clean your piece. Gold pieces can be shined and cleaned with my polishing wipes I provide and if you need to get behind a stone use hot soapy water and a soft toothbrush. If the piece is already oxidized and needs to be cleaned, hot soapy water or a soft cloth work well.
