✦ Artisan Blackjack Turquoise Pendant in Sterling Silver
This handcrafted pendant features genuine Blackjack turquoise from Nevada, prized for its bold black matrix and vivid green-blue color. This particular stone shows dramatic contrast with rich black sections and warm ochre desert tones that give it depth and character.
Hand-fabricated in my Colorado studio, the sterling silver setting is accented with a fine silver botanical flourish and a textured, oxidized leaf backplate — beautiful from every angle.
A one-of-a-kind piece for collectors who appreciate turquoise with natural drama and distinctive character.

✦ About Blackjack Turquoise
Blackjack turquoise comes from a small Nevada deposit known for its striking contrast and naturally dramatic patterns. It often features vivid blue-green turquoise framed by deep brown to black matrix — a look created over millions of years as minerals settled and hardened within the host rock.
Much of the most desirable Blackjack turquoise on the market is mined and cut by the Otteson family, who have worked Nevada turquoise claims for generations. The stone’s wild, high-contrast patterns make it a favorite among collectors who want turquoise with attitude and depth.
This pendant is an exceptional example of the material — bold, earthy, and unmistakably one of a kind.

I do NOT accept returns for:
- Damage incurred with wear
- Improper jewelry care (see my Jewelry Care page for proper care instructions)
To keep your silver jewelry looking like new, take that extra second to remove it before cleaning, bathing, swimming, or any activity that would cause excess wear and tear. Avoid exposing your jewelry to perfumes, lotions, soaps and other liquids, as well as extreme heat.
If your jewelry becomes dirty, clean with a soft cloth or soft tooth brush and a mild soap if necessary (I use Dawn), or polish with a silver polishing cloth.
Please note that polishing cloths are infused with an abrasive and will remove intentional patina along with the unwanted tarnish, so take
care not to accidentally polish off the patina!
Finally, as a best practice, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place with your complimentary anti-tarnish tab.
