Rare Royston Ribbon Turquoise & Grandidierite Gold Pendant Necklace

A True Collector's Prize- An Unforgettable Fine Jewelry Statement

This one-of-a-kind pendant necklace unites two of the world's most coveted natural gemstones.  Featuring a rare Royston Ribbon Turquoise paired with a brillant teal, translucent, Madagascar Grandidierite, thie piece is handcrafted in solid 14KYG with an 18KYG chain.  The teardrop turquoise features a striking, multicoloured ribbon running through its golden-cream background matrix.  Its colored pattern makes this gemstone completely unique.  Gently hand-textured solid 14KYG encases the turquoise enhancing its golden hues and striking color palette.  A gold bezeled,faceted oval Grandidierite suspends the teardrop with its vibrant teal color, spotlighting the teal blues in the turquoise ribbon.  Custom 14KYG connections create graceful movement to capture the light.  The simple 18KYG oval cable chain incorporates further luxury without obscuring the beauty of the natural gemstones.  

Dimensions/Specs:  Chain length 18 inches; total pendant length 2 inches with 0.5 inch width; 10mm oval 14KYG lobster clasp; 9x11mm Grandidierite; 12x30mm Turquoise teardrop; 14KYG (9g); 18KYG (2.7g).  Royston turquoise, mined since the early 1900's, is produced  only in Nevada  and only in limited quantities.   The ribbon pattern is even more limited in availability, with higher prices.  Grandidierite is mined only in southern Madagascar with quality gems of larger size not easily available. 

Whether you are an avid jewelry collector looking to discover one-of-a-kind artisan statement pieces, someone searching for a truly unique December birthstone gift, or just a lover of fine jewelry with a story to tell,  this pendant necklace is for you.  Its design is a amalgam of  uncommon gemstones, an interesting geologic history, quality craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury.
