Vintage Sterling Silver Large Turquoise Cross Pendant Necklace Signed

Beautiful vintage sterling silver cross pendant set with a vibrant natural turquoise cabochon with rich blue-green color and distinctive matrix. The stone has excellent color saturation and is reminiscent of turquoise from renowned American mines such as Kingman or Bisbee, although the exact source cannot be confirmed. Wonderfully executed hand-stamped silverwork displays crisp, well-balanced impressions that highlight the quality of the craftsmanship.

The clean, symmetrical stampwork adds texture and depth while complementing the elegant Spanish Colonial-inspired cross design. This type of necklace is what makes the Southwest so stylish. The cross pendant is suspended from a wonderful substantial sterling silver chain, 60.8 grams. Signed AJ.
