Description
Golden Hill Turquoise stones set in a sterling silver squash blossom design. The Altyn-Tyube (“Golden Hill” in the Kazakh language) mountain range is located in Kazakhstan about 200 miles South of the Russian border. This is where the original Golden Hill mine is located. Another 200 or so miles South brings us to the more recently discovered Lavender mine. While both produce similar material, the Lavender mine tends to produce more turquoise with spiderwebbing. This necklace is signed and marked sterling by the Navajo artist, Trisa Smith. Materials: Sterling Silver and Natural Golden Hill Turquoise Size: Inner strand of this necklace is 29″ long, finished with a hook and eye clasp. Center pendant (naja) is an additional 2 1/2″ long, 2 1/2″ wide. Earrings are hook type, 1 7/8″ long w/hook, 1/2″ wide. Click here to view our necklace sizing guide.
