Vintage Turquoise Pendant of 10k Gold on 14k Gold Chain

A vintage necklace dating from approximately 1970–1990, featuring three graduated turquoise cabochons displaying attractive natural brown matrix patterns and set in 10K gold. The elongated pendant design highlights the organic beauty of the turquoise, with each stone carefully graduated in size to create a balanced and elegant silhouette.

The pendant measures approximately 3.4 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 0.8 inches wide. It is suspended from a 17-inch 14K gold chain. The necklace weighs 15.35 grams and remains in great vintage condition.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10K gold construction for the pendant and a solid 14K gold chain.
