Gorgeous organic styled sterling silver pendant with a purple Mojave turquoise cabochon. The setting has a leafy, viney, and berry-filled design with an ornate leaf bail as well. Mojave turquoise is a man made material, using a mix of natural turquoise and other materials to make a conglomerate with a hydraulic press which is often dyed purple or green.
Condition: There is a crack that goes all the way through the stone, please see the last photo to see it best. The cabochon is secure in the setting and will likely stay that way for a long time. Personal preferences vary greatly for the amount of patina on vintage jewelry, therefore I tend to sell jewelry "as found" and leave polishing up to the new owner.
Size: 2 1/4" long including the bail and 1 1/4" wide. Weighs 16.9g
