Vintage Liquid Silver and Turquoise Nugget Station Necklace - A vintage Southwestern-style station necklace constructed with fine silver-toned metal tubes in a liquid silver design. The necklace features three natural turquoise nuggets as central stations, separated by small gold-toned metal beads. The turquoise stones are irregular in shape and organic in appearance, showing a light green-blue hue with significant brown matrix. The necklace is secured with a gold-toned barrel screw clasp that has a decorative ribbed surface. No maker's marks, hallmarks, or country-of-origin stamps are legible on the clasp or metal parts. Based on the ruler provided in the images, the necklace measures approximately 8.5 inches when folded, totaling an approximate open length of 17 inches. Length: 17 inches. The item is in good vintage condition. The turquoise nuggets show natural surface pits and matrix lines typical of raw stone (photo 2). There is minor surface oxidation and light patina visible on the metal tubes and gold-toned beads (photos 1 and 3). The clasp opens and closes as intended.
