A truly stunning piece of art! This necklace can be worn two ways: featuring hands adorned by chunks of coral or the outline of a body with Kingman Turquoise at its center. Each hand features a unique design and the oversized chain links are also individually stamped. Tufa is a compressed volcanic ash material. When casting, the artist hand-carves a design into tufa stone – creating a negative space for molten metal to be poured. The use of tufa creates a beautiful, earthy pebble like texture on the silver.

Chain measures 22" total, when worn the drop (including pendant) measures 13". Center pendant measures 2.5" x 1.25".
