Turquoise and Silver pendant, Royston

Lovely electric blue Royston Turquoise pendant. I purchased this piece of Turquoise as slab from the Otteson Brothers in Nevada. I hand carved it myself into it's soft triangle shape and set it in solid sterling silver. This is a nice and solid pendant with some heft to it! The back side has been roller printed with a floral burst pattern into the silver. I set the stone in a thick, "chubby" style bezel to give it a nice foundation. The pendant is about 1" wide (28mm) at the bottom and 1/4" thick (8mm). The chain is a very thick and heavy, solid sterling silver and is 18" long. It has a silver lobster clasp with a pearl and turquoise bead charm. This pendant is minimalist in design, but a very substantial piece of fine jewelry.
