Sterling Silver Egyptian Turquoise Flower Pendant with 5mm Navajo Bead Chain

Stone: This Navajo handmade sterling silver pendant features a medium cluster of blue Egyptian turquoise stone with minimal dark brown webbing on an 18" 5mm Navajo Bead chain. With bright robins egg blues and a webbing of rich burgundy and copper hues, each piece of Egyptian Turquoise has its own character. It is the original turquoise robins egg blue just like the blue found in high grade sleeping beauty, but on par or even better in quality. The richness of the color of this matrix is prized by collectors and can help to distinguish Turquoise from Egypt. The unique red-to-gold spider web lends Egyptian Turquoise well to being set in gold. The gem was so prized by ancient civilizations as it was used in crowns and royal jewels. It was a favorite of Tutankhamun and features (along with Lapis Lazuli, another Egyptian favorite) on his infamous Death Mask.
