Turquoise, Carnelian and Lapis Pendant

For all of you fans of the Southwest, mixed in with Asian philosophy (what a combo!) this necklace captures both. The necklace is composed of smooth turquoise and carnelian beads, interspersed with Bali-style sterling silver.  The pendant, set in sterling silver, is inlaid (in the Southwest style) turquoise, carnelian and lapis with a large Asian symbol (for good luck or good fortune, take your pick)  inlaid in sterling silver.  The necklace measures almost 17 1/2 inches across and closes with a fancy sterling silver beaded toggle clasp.  This is a real statement piece, which can be worn all the time, with jeans, with a suit, or anything black.  It will look great.  And you can make up your own story about it!
