A very cute and dainty vintage silver and turquoise necklace.
The turquoise is reconstituted (small bits and chips leftover from other jewelry processes mixed together and set in resin), and is framed by silver closed-back bezels. The stones' blue-green color and variation in tone create a visually dynamic, almost micro-mosaic effect with a lot of depth to each little petal. There are 7 petals- four little leaf shapes draped horizontally and three bigger, pear shaped drops. It looks to me as though the turquoise section was originally a component of a bigger necklace, and the dainty figaro chain is a newer addition. A sweet mash up of old and new-ish, with a slightly worn, lived-in patina.
Necklace measures 16 inches long, closes with a spring ring clasp
Turquoise section measures approximately 2 ½ inches across
