Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Pendant in Hand-Forged Sterling Silver

Forged by hand in solid sterling silver, this one-of-a-kind pendant features an oval Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochon framed by a sculptural beaded perimeter. Built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools, each component is shaped and assembled at the bench with disciplined metalwork.

The vivid turquoise color and structured silver setting create hand-forged sterling silver jewelry with heirloom quality silver presence.

Form & Proportion

Measuring approximately 1.25 inches in length, the pendant carries a compact yet striking presence designed to sit cleanly at the collarbone.

The oval turquoise anchors the composition while a bold beaded perimeter creates dimensional framing around the stone. This border introduces rhythm and depth without overpowering the clarity of the turquoise.

A larger bail opening at the crown allows the pendant to pair easily with a range of chains, including heavier handmade styles.

Materials & Method

The Sleeping Beauty turquoise is selected for its vibrant blue tone and smooth cabochon surface. It is secured within a hand-formed scalloped bezel built from solid sterling silver.

A beaded border is individually integrated around the setting, creating sculptural texture and visual structure. The pendant is shaped, assembled, and finished by hand in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional bench techniques.
