2 of 3 Reserved for Mary J: Bisbee Turquoise and Fire Opal Key Clasp Necklace with Handmade Chain and 18k Gold

Bisbee Turquoise and Fire Opal Key Clasp Necklace with Handmade Chain and 18k Gold

This listing is for Mary J. only. This is payment 2 of 3 of the installment plan on this necklace, with the final payment to be completed on or before January 4th, 2027. Please see terms below. 

This unique statement necklace features a domed cicada wing hollow form through which a fire opal key is inserted to serve as the clasp. 18k gold accents the front, and a beautiful blue and white Bisbee turquoise hangs from the wing, bordered with 18k gold. The back shows an original pattern and another impression of a cicada wing. The loop linking the turquoise to the rest of the necklace is also 18k gold. I have handmade the 20" chain and given the silver an antiqued patina with a matte finish.

• The natural faceted, tube-set fire opal is 4mm in diameter.

• The Bisbee turquoise is about 23mm x 13mm. It has likely been stabilized for durability. My husband brought this very pretty and unusual piece of turquoise back for me from a rock shop in Arizona while he was on a trip, and I saved it for years until I had just the right design for it.

• I've made the cicada wing texture by imprinting the wings of cicadas into the silver. Cicadas are a traditional symbol in many cultures of good luck, joy, and rebirth. (No cicadas were harmed — I collect only dead specimens found on my walks.)

• This pendant is approximately 2" tall by 1 3/4" wide. 

• The handmade sterling silver chain is about 20" long including the width of the pendant itself. I can add or remove any number of 1" links upon request.

• This piece (including the chain) was made entirely by hand in my home studio with sterling silver, fine silver, and 18k gold.

• Your purchase will be delivered in elegant packaging, ready to give or wear.

• Gift wrapping is available for this item here.
