Description:   
This is a fabulous older piece.  The pendant consists of two sections with substantial overlay pieces that are slightly domed.   The smaller top piece has a 7/16"  x 1/4" piece of coral set in  a saw-tooth bezel.  The bottom piece has the same size turquoise set, which is an incredible stone  - very hard and a deep blue-green color with brown matrix.  The pendant hangs from a double strand of completely handmade beads.  There are three types of beeds - wheat, round and fluted - which are strung in a pattern on each side of the pendant.  Towards the back the beads come together in to a single strand to be more comfortable at the neck.  It is signed by the artist, L.B. Tom.  It is not marked sterling, which was common for this time period, but is guaranteed to be so.  This item has not been previously owned and comes from our collection of older pieces.
