Genuine Turquoise Sterling Silver Hand Crafted Vintage BARSE Cross Necklace

This gorgeous sterling silver cross necklace was $299.00 in 2000. Barse has a similar statement necklace on their website for $450.00. Barse does not use the die-cast method, which many companies use to push out thousands of pieces with no hand-finishing. Barse hand makes their jewelry and uses the lost-wax method to attain a fine jewelry quality. Because of this, the turquoise nugget beads are not all the same color. This necklace is comprised of turquoises nuggets and sterling silver beads with endcaps and sterling silver spacer beads. The elaborate enhancer bail latches, which allows for the cross to be removed. The turquoise beads can be worn without the cross and the cross can be added to your favorite chain for some versatility! The large filigree cross has a turquoise square at its center.
