Bennett Old Pawn Gigantic 5 1/8" Turquoise on Sterling Silver Bolo
Gigantic 5 1/8" Turquoise on Sterling Silver Bolo Vintage. Has the Bennett Pat Pending Stamp under the clip. Its the real deal folks. Has good patina and the once blue gemstone has faded to the green that is expected on Old Pawn Collectibles. We are used to seeing turquoise faceted in jewelry that are rarely bigger than a quarter in diameter. This piece is HUGE! The Turquoise is 5 1/8" by 2 3/16" and roughly 1/4" at its thickest point. It has no cracks or faults visable. The Sterling Silver it is faceted to is 6" by 2 7/8" Total weight of this piece 5 7/8 ounces or 166 grams. We will guess the Turquois makes up over half of that weight. Has its sticker from when Mr Elder purchased back in the 1970’s or before for 285.00. Very rare piece from the T. V. Elder Collection.
