of stabilized turquoise nuggets (approx. 11x9x5 to
16x10x8mm) and a daintier strand of turquoise
chips (approx. 6 to 8mm) create an enchanting two strand necklace. A
flutter of finely etched petals that are polished to a radiant silver adorn
the flower pendant suspended below.

About stabilized turquoise...
Moisture, skin oils and
environmental factors can change the color of turquoise jewelry if left
untreated. But stabilizing turquoise helps preserve the stone's normal color.
Natural, mined turquoise nuggets are heated at a very low temperature for about
a week, slowly drawing out moisture without damaging the texture. The stones are
then placed into acrylic or polymer chemicals to replace water molecules. This
stabilizes the stone and keeps its beauty and value intact.
