DescriptionA round, concha-style sterling silver pin with turquoise stone set in a central bezel. The stone is an unblemished sphere of sky-blue turquoise polished to a high luster. Surrounding the central bezel are concentric rings of progressively larger, hand-hammered organic motifs resembling crescents, leaves, and oblong seeds, with an outer ring of small, bristly crescent shapes embellishing the scalloped edges of the cast and hammered pin.On View
