An incredible seventeen rare gem grade natural Nevada Blue turquoise cabochons were used to set in this outstanding necklace created by Julian Lovato. The cabochons were collected by the artist in the 1990s and are seldom seen on the market place today. The stones are the classic look from the mine with complex reddish-brown, chocolate and gold spiderweb matrix. Julian has set them in his clean and austere design, often called the "Pueblo style" which he helped to create starting in the 1940s. The stunning pendant is connected by a heavy handmade link necklace often referred to as a dot dash style. The finished piece is rare in quality, materials and is perfect for a collection of the highest level. Pieces by Julian are very seldom seen and are an event in itself.
