Turquoise nugget bead-link necklace + earrings

4790 Jewelry_picture_48My vendor tells me that this set of turquoise is from the Fox Mine in Nevada.  It is a beautiful robin's egg blue, traced with a light black matrix.  (You can see my other turquoise necklaces here, here, here, and here.)

The nuggets feel slightly waxy, and range in length from about 12 to 20mm.  I joined each with sterling silver wire, finishing with a Bali twisted silver S-clasp.

The length of the necklace is almost 22 1/4 inches (can be worn shorter, by hooking the clasp between two beads as shown), with a weight of 1.5 oz.

4786_2 Jewelry_picture_50_2I made earrings to match.  I bought the large (8mm) sterling silver beads at the ends from the same vendor, but I can't remember from which country they were imported.  (They look Thai, but I wouldn't swear to it.)  Anyway, the French hooks, headpins, and 2.5mm silver beads are also sterling silver.  The finished length of each dangle is about 1 1/8 inches.  The earrings weigh 0.1 oz.

Price: $69.90 (shipping is free)
