Neat VTG Portuguese Sterling Silver Turquoise River Ladder Pendant Necklace
Regular price
$84.00
Presented is a stylish vintage sterling silver and turquoise pendant, on a
silver-capped leather cord. This piece was made in Portugal, likely within the
past 70 years or so. The pendant of the necklace is done in a double curve form
almost like a section of river, with polished turquoise beads strung on a silver
wire in between, for the water. The surface of the silver has a textured and
antiqued sort of naturalistic finish. The pendant is strung on a leather cord
with silver clasp, but could easily be cut off from the cord and put on a chain
or other cord of your choosing.
