SLEEPING BEAUTY TURQUOISE VISITS TIBET

I've had this Tibetan silver pendant for a long time. It's very delicate and girlish, quite intricate, and calls for something special to show it off. To my mind, there's nothing more special than American turquoise, Sleeping Beauty specifically. It is probably the most beautiful turquoise mined in the American Southwest -- a gorgeous shade of sky blue turquoise. It tends to be very expensive which is why I am particular about how I use it. These are faceted miniature briolettes or "tears" which bunch up together when strung with no separation element. I like the elegant porqupine-ness of it. A very tactile piece, perfect for my elegant Tibetan pendant. Price; $425. SOLD
