About this Product
Kingman Turquoise Sterling Silver Necklace
The color in this stone, a bright blue piece of Kingman Turquoise mined and cut in Arizona, is spectacular. Kingman turquoise is revered for its vibrant blue color, and this stone is no exception.
To accentuate its shape, Kelly created a teardop-within-a-teardrop, sterling silver setting that mimics the cut of the stone and for additional pop of color and intrigue, she textured a bail of jeweler's bronze for the look of gold without the cost.
