Sterling Silver and Natural Golden Hills Turquoise Necklace with Matching Earrings

This striking turquoise set brings together the work of two accomplished Native artists. The necklace is handcrafted by Monica Silva Lovato (San Felipe Pueblo) and features five Natural Golden Hills turquoise cabochons. Each stone is set in sterling silver with a twisted-rope border and clean oval bezels. The stones measure about 1 inch each and are linked with sturdy sterling connectors that create a smooth and comfortable drape. The total necklace length is 22 inches, making it a versatile statement piece.

The matching earrings are created by Dennis Chuculate (Acoma Pueblo / Cherokee). Each earring carries two Natural Golden Hills stones set in sterling silver. A smaller top stone measuring about 1/4 inch leads into a larger bottom stone at about 1/2 inch, forming a tiered drop. The earrings measure approximately 1 3/4 inches in full length and are finished with secure sterling posts. The shapes and color tones echo the necklace, creating a coordinated pairing while allowing each artist’s style to stand on its own.

Together, this set blends San Felipe Pueblo and Acoma-Cherokee silversmithing traditions, offering a refined Golden Hills turquoise presentation suited for collectors or special occasions.
