Vintage Santo Domingo Pendant

Experience the beauty and craftsmanship of this Vintage Santo Domingo pendant, featuring a maker's mark and a 17.6mm bale. This pendant features inlaid Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Black Onyx, and Mother of Pearl.

The Sleeping Beauty Turquoise mine is located in Gila County, Arizona. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Mine has recently closed. It is now obtained from private stashes. The turquoise mine produces uniform blue turquoise that is easily matched and used in many styles of Native American jewelry. Mother of pearl is an iridescent coating (nacre) made from a blend of materials secreted by certain mollusks – pearl oysters, freshwater mussels, and abalone – in the lining of their shells.
