Silver and Turquoise Dual store Brooch or Pendant Cabochon - Mojave Turquoise Stone with Bronze Matrix - 1960s - 1970s Vintage Jewelry

Unique Versatile Turquoise Piece that Doubles as either a Pendant or a Brooch depending on your needs. It is crafted by using a hydraulic press that combines turquoise nuggets with a bronze matrix throughout. Once combined it is further stabilized to harden the stone. When store found, the silver metal was black with decades of patina buildup but polished up to the brilliant shine you see with silver polish and elbow grease. It is slightly bent on the right side but this hardly detracts from it's awesome vintage appeal! A wonderful gift that is sure to be treasured! It measures approximately 1 1/2 inches long by 1 1/4 inches wide as a brooch. A Special Vintage Find!
