Black Jack Turquoise Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Pendant

Hand-forged in the Adirondack foothills, this sterling silver pendant features a striking Black Jack turquoise stone with vivid turquoise running through a deep black matrix center. Framed within a scalloped bezel and surrounded by bold silver bead detailing, the piece balances rugged natural character with refined studio execution.

Built as a one-of-a-kind handcrafted silver pendant, this design reflects intentional bench work, strong material presence, and enduring artisan silversmithing rooted in traditional techniques.

Form & Wearability

Designed with strong visual structure and balanced proportion, this pendant carries noticeable presence while remaining highly wearable. The dark stone matrix contrasted by the bright turquoise center creates natural depth and movement, while the scalloped bezel softens the overall silhouette with subtle texture.

A substantial bail allows the pendant to pair comfortably with larger sterling silver chains, giving collectors flexibility in styling and wear. The bold bead perimeter adds dimensional detail without overwhelming the clean composition of the piece.

Chains are sold separately.

Material & Studio Practice

This artisan sterling silver pendant is hand-forged using traditional silversmithing tools and hands-on shaping methods within our Adirondack jewelry studio. The scalloped bezel and bead detailing are individually formed and refined by hand to create balanced structure and lasting durability.

The natural contrast within the Black Jack turquoise stone gives the pendant a strong elemental character that aligns naturally with Sterling Roots’ focus on stone, silver, and grounded forged form.
