Mexican 950 silver and turquoise modernist Necklace
Wrought in heavy, fine silver of .950 purity this modernist Mexican necklace has chunky interlocking links and houses nine vibrantly colored turquoise cabs in raised bezel settings. There is nothing "fragile" about this piece - it exudes power and confidence as it lies on the neckline with a sense of strong belonging as if it was always meant to be there. I love the black veining in the turquoise which add visual interest to the stones as well as the generous length that makes for a comfortable, easy to enjoy necklace...
