This fantastic, old-style tab necklace was created by long-time New Mexico jeweler, lapidary, painter, poet, turquoise miner and musician Mose McCormack.   Mose has cut five cd's of his music, and has found a following in Australia - check out his MySpace page.  I'm excited about carrying his work.  The turquoise in this piece is high-grade, natural Royston Turquoise from Nevada that shows a multitude of deep, rich shades of blue, aqua and green that makes it look like a vintage necklace that a Navajo would wear.  The spacer beads graduate in size from 1/4" at the center down to 3/16" at the ends, while the tabs measure 3/4" long at the center, down to 1/4" at the smallest.  The two-strand necklace is finished with turquoise cones, hand-made sterling beads and hook and eye clasp.  Feels great on, and will only get better over time with wear and love. 21 1/2" long measuring the (shortest) top strand, so hangs lower ... more info

This material was mined over twenty years ago, and acquired about five years ago in the rough; material like this is rarely if ever available today. The beads were meticulously hand-cut from nuggets and drilled, then went through many stages of grinding trying not to break them in the process.  Except for the jewel centerpiece (5/16" wide x 3/4" long), the beads are not highly polished; the artist chose to leave it with a more natural, understated finish. The slightly rounded beads measure 3/16" wide at the center, tapering to 1/8" at the ends. They are a fascinating combination of the earthy shades of green, lime, khaki, rust with black spiderwebbing that is only ... more info
