Vintage Taxco Mexico 925 Silver & Block Turquoise Pyramid BIB Statement Necklace

This amazing statement piece is a heavy, ornate bib necklace likely made in the 1980s. Linked 925 silver squares and dangles are further accented with 37 pyramid-shaped pieces of vivid sky-blue block turquoise. It would have been impossible for the artist to carve natural turquoise into perfectly-shaped pyramid cabochons so block turquoise was used. Lays beautifully due to construction and weight. • Box clasp • Measures 18", bib piece is 3.5" • Weight: 159g • Unpolished • Hallmark - Mexico, "T" Taxco (origin), "J" (maker's last name) "67" (67th registered Taxco maker with that last name), 925
