10-Stone Castle Dome Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant with 5 Strands of Apatite, Olive Shell Heishi and Sterling Silver
This outstanding Necklace showcases a Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant by Santa Fe Jewelry Artist David Umpleby. David is known for his impressive multi-stone Pendant designs and this piece is no exception. It features 10 round and oval stones, including 9 Castle Dome Turquoise stones — from the Castle Dome Mine in Miami, AZ — and a cobalt-blue Turquoise stone of unknown origin. Castle Dome is prized for its bright and clear blue color, the result of high copper content. The stones are set in raised Sterling Silver Bezels, ornamented by 23 handcrafted Sterling Silver Balls, and set on Sterling Silver Plate fashioned as an equal-armed Square Cross. The Cross features a back-mounted Sterling Silver Cylinder Bail. It is stamped with "Sterling," "Made in Santa Fe," and the Artist's hallmark, "DEU." An impressive and beautiful piece. We've paired the Turquoise & Sterling Silver Pendant with 5 strands of Apatite, Olive Shell Heishi, and Stering Silver. The Apatite Rounds are 4mm in
