Southwestern Style Mixed Gemstone Sterling Silver Pendant

This is a detailed Southwestern-style fan-shaped pendant crafted from sterling silver, corroborated by the user-provided '925' hallmark context. The piece features a multi-stone design including two turquoise cabochons—one square and one teardrop-shaped with visible natural matrix—and two faceted light blue gemstones, likely blue topaz or aquamarine, set in rub-over bezels. The construction follows an architectural 'ray' design with silver rods terminating in small spheres. The turquoise settings are further accented with beaded granulation or jali-style work around the teardrop base. Condition-wise, the item shows significant signs of age and wear, most notably a heavy orange-brown oxidation or residue trapped between the settings and on the silver struts, which may indicate a reaction to skin oils, perfume, or environmental factors. The silver has a soft, aged patina but requires professional cleaning to restore its original luster. The oversized bale suggests it was designed to accommodate a thick chain or leather cord, typical of mid-to-late 20th-century artisan jewelry. The craftsmanship is symptomatic of handcrafted boutique production rather than mass-market casting, evidenced by the slight asymmetry in the orientation of the stones.
