925 Sterling Silver Turquoise Pendant Southwestern Style Leaf Frame

925 sterling silver pendant featuring an oval turquoise cabochon set within an open leaf and scrollwork frame, done in a Southwestern style. The stone is a smooth oval cab with a soft blue tone and natural matrix running through it, giving it that classic turquoise character without looking overly uniform 🌵

The setting is more sculptural than flat—built with rounded silver wire forming the outer frame, accented by a detailed leaf and curled wire elements that wrap around the stone. The bail carries a decorative floral pattern, tying the whole piece together with a slightly vintage feel 🍃

This piece has developed a natural patina over time, especially around the leaf details and recessed areas, which helps bring out the depth and structure of the design 🍃

It was intentionally left as-is because it suits the piece well, but if a brighter finish is preferred, we’re happy to polish it to a clean, classic sterling silver shine upon request before shipping

This piece is not marked, but the silver has been tested and confirmed as sterling. The design fits the Southwestern aesthetic, though no specific maker attribution is present.
