~ turquoise has been  worn for centuries because of it's beauty, but they also believed it had protective qualities...warrior shields, armor & the tack for their mighty steeds were embellished with turquoise....hence the name of this gorgeous piece!  i freely admit i'm a turquoise addict and i never seem to tire of it...maybe it is also highly addictive too!  *wink* 

the show-stopping pendant is HUGE!!  an all natural sky-blue turquoise free-form slice is filled with rich intricate matrix with hints of copper and carefully hand-wrapped in fine sterling (drop length about 2 7/8in) i surrounded it with a full strand of graduated hand-cut dragonskin turquoise oval nuggets spaced by tiny bronze freshwater seed pearls, then 2 full strands of  glowing jumbo champagne freshwater pearl nuggets also spaced by tiny bronze freshwater seed pearls, the ends are finished with turquoise beads & sterling bali spacers....the strands layer and are designed to intermingle with each other, it is truly S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G....most definitely a ONE-OF-A-KIND find!  i promise!!
