This dainty vintage sterling silver pendant hails from Mexico and hugs a beautiful natural turquoise gemstone in a fluid shell shaped setting. The turquoise is a bright duck egg blue with brown matrix fine veining. Tiny but perfectly formed this pendant suspends from a fine twisted rope silver chain which adds to its charming delicacy.
A unique piece for layering with other pendants and for adding a vibrant drop of summer colour to your neck wear, this is one of the smallest Mexican silver pendants we have ever seen and it's adorable. Turquoise is said to bring fortune so perhaps the same fate will befall you!
