This versatile pin or pendant is expertly designed with stunning pieces of turquoise that originated from the late Larry Cooley’s renowned turquoise collection. This specific piece is designed using hand-picked, select cuts sourced from both the esteemed Arizona and Nevada mines.

Aptly referred to as a “Sampler,” the beauty of utilizing this sampler selection lies in two significant aspects: first, it provides an exquisite contrast of colors throughout the piece; and second, it showcases a delightful variety of hues that are characteristic of both the Royston mine and the Arizona mine. As a result, this pendant/pin features an array of remarkable tonalities of blues! Due to the generously sized center cut, you can fully appreciate more of Royston’s unique attributes, which are often overlooked in smaller cluster cuts.

THE SHEPHERDS HOOK CONNECTION:

AS A PENDANT: Leaving the shepherds hook as is without opening it any, will only accommodate nothing more than a 5 mm diameter bead (Or leather cord or chain) This can be opened more so it can accommodate a larger size bead if you need. (If you don't work with metal, a reputable jeweler can easily open the hook up more with a pair of needle nose pliers) To be in balance, I would personally recommend a bead size of say up to a 10 mm to no more than say a 12 mm size. (Please see the Necklace category for various Navajo Pearl bead sizes & length’s) This is not a small pendant,nor is it an over the top size pendant, so I would go up to no longer than a 24” long necklace.

WORN AS A PIN:
If you wear it as a pin, the only thing I would not pin it on, is any delicate/thin like fabrics.(Like silk)

PRICE IS BASED ON: ****The Artists name & reputation, the turquoise quality, the size of stone & amount of carats, the cost per carat for this quality, sterling cost & the artists time to make this, are all reflected in the price.. However, any turquoise from Larry’s collection will always demand a higher price.
