Kingman Turquoise Shield Necklace set in 18k Gold

Turquoise is one of  the oldest stone in man's history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of protection, strong energy. Truly on of my favorite materials! I use only solid cabachons in my work, no backing on this round/oval stone. It is a brilliant turquoise color with just a few lovely variants of brown markings. 

It's built from sterling silver that I shape and pattern with my antique hammers. The result is a softly textured surface that complements the earthy stone. A chunky half loop bail is adorned by 2/18k gold thick jump rings and are all finished with an oxidized patina and a hand polish.

This stunning necklace resonates with my authentic, organic style and further enhanced by the 18k yellow gold  setting on the shield shaped Kingman Turquoise stone. Straight from the Kingman mine, the deep warm brown tones are enhanced but he gold settings.  

Adorned by a thick oval rolo chain in length varying from 16-20” please specify length when ordering.
