Pendant Teardrop 1½” x ¾” - Matching earrings are available for purchase on the earrings page.
Before this land was desert it was water. Ancient seas covered the American Southwest for hundreds of millions of years shallow warm oceans that left behind the copper and phosphate deposits that would eventually become turquoise. This stone carries that history on its surface. The oval Tyrone turquoise cabochon measures 1½” x ¾” bright aqua-teal ground swept through with bold rivers of warm amber and gold matrix that move across the stone like waterways seen from altitude, like the memory of currents that ran through this earth long before anything walked on it.
The matrix in this stone is exceptional not fine tracery but broad, confident veining that claims as much of the surface as the turquoise itself, the two materials in honest conversation about what this ground is made of. Set in oxidized .925 sterling silver with a full hand-twisted rope border, the oval bezel holds the composition with quiet authority. The pendant arrives on a 16” brown leather cord that keeps it at the collarbone close, warm, and entirely present.
