Chinese Turquoise set in Fine Silver

Artisan Jewelry : Pendants

 

Gorgeous green, black, tan with bluish shaded Chinese turquoise pendant set in textured fine silver (.999)! The silver has been antiqued to highlight the texture in the back plate and bail.

The full length of the pendant is 2-1/4" (5.7 cm.).

The pendant does not include a chain, but if you want a sterling chain or leather necklace to hang it on, let me know and I can provide it for you.

Fine silver (0.999) and 24 KT Gold are "noble" metals and will not tarnish easily.

In the case of fine silver, unlike most silver jewelry nowadays, made of sterling silver (.925 silver) which is an alloy of copper (.075%) and silver (.925%), this piece will remain bright and shiny for years. It is the copper in the sterling alloy that oxidizes.

Although pure silver is considered "soft", this piece has been sufficiently work hardened and carefully burnished and polished by hand and is as strong as 18 KT gold.
