18" overall length

Forty large, lightly tumbled, graduated nuggets of black-matrixed turquoise, terminated at each end by conical silver caps.

Chunky, bold and dramatic!

Detail of turquoise nuggets.

 

Not the ubiquitous jewelry made for sale to tourists. This is the real deal; an old estate item that belonged to my sister-in-law. Over the years, she traveled throughout our Southwest and, though not a collector, acquired a few choice items for her own use, buying old pawn from trading posts and, sometimes, buying directly from the artisans.

Excellent condition.
