Necklace/Earrings Set, Turquoise Pendant, Jasper, Carved outlets Bone, and Stainless Steel and Sterling Silver Beads
This turquoise cabochon was purchased and cut/polished in Chile, originating in Mexico outlets. It is a unique cut, hand cut by a Chilean artisan. The bezel is fine silver, and the rest of the setting is sterling with a patina to darken the recessed areas. I have recently added a rich beaded chain and matching earrings set that bring the wild American West to life. The chain has green jasper free form beads, rounded rectangular picture jasper beads, carved bone beads with a star design, stainless steel beads and sterling silver beads. The earrings have sterling silver ball posts, rectangular picture jasper and rectangular carved bone beads with a star design and stainless steel beads.
This is a unique piece combining a little bit of South and North American materials and artistry. I found these carved bone beads in Alaska and the jasper all came from Arizona.
