This is a vintage item I received from my mother-in-law. I was told she purchased it overseas several decades ago. I have never used it. This pendant top is a vintage masterpiece featuring a beautiful, deep, and vibrant blue natural turquoise (turquoise) as its centerpiece. The oval-cut turquoise in the center is surrounded by carefully hammered silver dot (bead) decorations, a technique traditionally seen in Native American and Mexican designs, including those from Taxco, the holy land of Mexican silversmithing. The engraving "LADEM 1800"? can be seen on the back. [The appeal of this pendant] Powerful turquoise: The vibrant blue adds an accent to your outfit. Traditional design: A classic decoration that is loved across time, allowing you to enjoy the texture that comes with age. Recommended for those who love vintage silver accessories such as Indian jewelry, Native American jewelry, and Mexican silver. ■Condition The unique tarnish and blackening (smoky finish) of the silver, typical of old items, is part of its charm. There are no noticeable chips in the stone, but please purchase only if you understand vintage items. *Chain is not included. Only the pendant top is for sale. It will be delivered wrapped in cushioning material. ⚠️ Notes (Regarding vintage items) Returns/Warranty: There are no accessories (box, warranty card, etc.).
