Sonoran Turquoise Lariat Necklace

A 16-stone necklace linked in a graduated drop, each turquoise set in a plain fine silver bezel. The stones vary in tone, from golden green to deep moss, with traces of host rock preserved. The chain and findings are entirely hand fabricated in sterling silver.

Artist Insight
This necklace balances weight and movement. I chose Sonoran turquoise for its tonal variety and cut each bezel by hand to follow its form. No stamping and minimal embellishment to keep the stones the focal point.
