Hand-Forged Turquoise Heart Sterling Silver Pendant with Beaded Detail

This hand-forged sterling silver pendant is built in our Adirondack jewelry studio, featuring a striking blue heart-shaped turquoise with bold black matrix throughout the stone. One edge is framed with a large beaded perimeter, creating asymmetry and dimensional detail within the form. This is one-of-a-kind silver jewelry, shaped through disciplined bench work and guided by natural stone character.

Form & Wearability

Measuring just over 2 inches in length, this pendant carries a strong statement presence while maintaining a balanced silhouette. The heart-shaped turquoise anchors the design, while the beaded adornment along one side introduces texture and visual weight without overwhelming the form.

Designed to pair well with substantial chains, the pendant sits with a grounded feel and structured movement suitable for everyday wear.

Material & Studio Practice

Forged from solid sterling silver, this pendant is shaped and assembled entirely by hand using traditional silversmithing tools. The turquoise is carefully set to highlight its natural matrix pattern, while the large bead perimeter is individually integrated to create depth and contrast along the edge.

Each element is built with precision and intention, allowing the asymmetrical design to remain balanced and cohesive. This is artisan sterling silver rooted in traditional metalwork and refined through disciplined studio work.
