A chunky, modernist rectangular pendant set with a richly textured turquoise stone full of dark matrix—almost painterly, like moss creeping across stone. The setting is clean and architectural, letting the stone do all the talking.
Open-back construction gives you that nice glimpse of the stone’s natural character from behind—a good sign it wasn’t treated like an afterthought.
- Stone: Turquoise (heavy matrix, possibly Southwest or Mexican material)
- Metal: Sterling silver (unmarked but consistent with construction and weight)
- Size: 7/8" x 5/8"
- Total drop (with bail): ~1 5/8"
- Weight: 24 grams
- Construction: Open-back bezel, thick bail
- Likely Southwestern or Mexican studio work
- Late 20th century artisan piece
- No hallmark, but the thick bail + clean bezel + open back represent quality small-batch production rather than tourist-grade
