THE NECKLACE:
This is one of those pieces that you're going to have to pry out of me because it's so BEYOND unbelievably beautiful, that it makes me think about keeping it!! (But unfortunately, since I can't be my 'own best customer'-haha!)

If the look doesn't over take you,this color surely will!! And no, it's not just it's overall beauty ,but the COLOR is breathtakingly vibrant! It's made of Sleeping Beauty turquoise & no USA turquoise has that vibrancy that only the Sleeping Beauty mine produces! This mine has been closed down now for about 5 or so years now & only has sky rocketed in price behind it's closing. I would call this a "true turquoise" color & what a color for the spring summer month's! You may be the talk of the town when you wear something this gorgeous & will look phenomenal on any skin tone!

This is made with 2 art forms that take skill & know how, with one being lapidary (Stone cutting) & the other being mosaic inlay work. As you can see,both are done beautifully & precisely. The wings were cut down from a larger rock of the turquoise & then each have deep chiseling & then are beautifully beveled, which give each sectional part of the wing, their graceful lines & smooth appearance. The abdomen,eyes & the antennas are designed in a Zuni Pueblo style of inlay, where they are mosaic inlaid with Sleeping Beauty turquoise,Orange Spiny Oyster shell & black Onyx. This technique is truly time consuming, when you figure that each piece has to be cut perfectly to fit side by side as they lay in their mosaic inlaid form.The completed design lays in their own sterling bezel and is finalized with chiseled leaves & are also hand carved.

Because of it's shorter length,this will sit at the lower portion of the neck which is right where the viewers eye will quickly go to..The closure is a push in tongue clasp & has a wearable weight without hurting the neck(See weight below) & folds up easy for travel.

Only one in stock with this color turquoise,so don't wait till it gets taken! This is so strikingly beautiful, you may not want to take it off!
