- About The Morenci Turquoise Segmented Collar Necklace
Sterling silver and natural clear blue Morenci Mine turquoise were used to create this striking collar.
The collar is made in four curved sections using high domed solid 1/4" wise half round bar. These are attached to each other and the centerpiece by means of heavy gauge hand-made round wire links.
The focal point of the necklace is a soft-edge diamond-shaped frame ornamented solidly with smelted graduated silver drops. Within this border is a rope twist, then smooth-edged bezel securing a natural sky blue turquoise stone with only the slightest hint of pyrite at one edge.
Beautiful, massive, impressive and so comfortable to wear, this Richard Yellowhorse collar has it all.
