Item # 268T - Vintage Standing Liberty Quarter Yei Naja Necklace
Beautiful and bold turquoise cluster necklace! Made with one hundred twenty nine (129) teardrop, oval, and round cut Kingman turquoise stones. Each stone is set in a hand cut saw toothed bezel with silver drops between the outer rim teardrop stones and the center flower on the pendant with the rest of the stones either wrapped or encased in twisted rope. Each side has twenty nine (29) stones with the center section having ten (10) stones. The large round pendant consists of fifty eight (58) stones and each clasp that holds all the sections together have a single stone on each. The pendant measures 3" in diameter, the center section is 2" across and each side measures 4 1/4" long. Each link in the chain is soldered and measures 5 1/2" long which includes the hook-n-eye clasp. It's hard to get an end to end measurement, but it's approximately 24" to 25" long with a wearable length of 13 1/4". The necklace weighs 86.6 grams (3.05 ounces) and is stamped D L W - STERLING by the artist. There's a lot of these necklaces on the market, but this is the only one I've seen with a better quality turquoise being used. $418.95
