Description: If you love a squash blossom but do not love the size and weight this petite handcrafted squash will be just the ticket for you. This squash is set with a gray/blue turquoise with chocolate matrices. When we received this piece I was puzzled by the stones, the gray tone to the stone reminded me of Bisbee which has a lavender to gray undertones. However I knew it could not be Bisbee, this mine has been closed for years and this much Bisbee would cost a fortune. After looking and studying I finally had to send a picture to our stone cutter and ask him what it was. It turns out it is Chinese turquoise.One of the top authorities on turquoise says:"It is said that for every well known American mine, there is a Chinese counterpart producing similar material. Popular examples are the Number 8 and Lander Blue mines because of the spider-web matrix, but Chinese turquoise can even be mistaken for Royston, Kingman, Bisbee, and more because of the massive variations in color and matrix."When I read this I understood why it looked so much like Bisbee to me even though I knew that was next to impossible.At any rate the squash is petite and well made and finished with a matching pair of earrings.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pendant Necklace:Metal: SterlingStones: TurquoiseNumber of Stones: 20 in the squashSize of Earrings: 3/4” by ½” not counting the ear wire or 1 1/4” with the ear wireSize of Naja: 1 ¾” by 1 1/2 ”Overall Length of Necklace: 25" With the sterling link chain you could ware this piece from a choker length to longWeight of Squash: 73.1 gramsWeight of Earrings: 6.3 gramsSigned: MMR-6943
