Superb! This classic sterling silver turquoise necklace really does a great job of 'showing off' a genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise gemstone, earth-mined in the famous Sleeping Beauty turquoise mines in the state of Arizona, USA. The gemstone is pear-shaped and a solid cabochon (not a faceted gemstone). Sleeping Beauty turquoise is known for its opaque shades of "robin's egg blue", and this beauty should impress!This turquoise gemstone is set in a solid .925 sterling silver 4-prong pendant setting, cast (also) right here in the USA. To make this the perfect gift, a silver-plated chain is included, complimentary and free-of-charge. If you like Italian fine silver, a genuine .925 sterling silver chain (crafted especially in Italy) is also offered at nominal cost to you (please see drop-down menu above to select this option).
