Handmade Jasper and Turquoise Assemblage Necklace

Beautiful and Unique! Upcycled vintage Leather cord; beautiful, large polished Jasper pendant (coloring and matrix is uniquely different on each side); . . . and a vintage pendant from artist Todd Brown, hand crafted with vintage brass and featuring genuine Cerillos Turquoise mined in New Mexico. This is a rare turquoise; hard to find! A little history if you’re interested: “The Cerrillos HIlls mining district is home to some of the oldest and most substantial turquoise working in North America, utilized from at least 900AD and possibly earlier. By the 20th century most of the Cerrillos turquoise lodes were cleaned out.” https://www.casagrandetradingpost.com/ This necklace has been purposefully created to be rustic and rudimentary, with worn leather knotted on to an antique brass closure; featuring stand out pendants of genuine stone and turquoise.
