Turquoise Mountain .. wild and free
Arizona turquoise mountain cabochon with wonderful colorations, fine silver setting with textured backplate, fabricated twigs, hammered mountains, crescent moon and studio etched NuGold or red brass grizzly bear.  Etched NuGold leaf accent dangles with teeny turquoise heishi beads.
Italian 20" sterling silver snake chain. 
I designed this piece with grizzly bear 399, Queen of the Tetons, in mind.  She was an amazing mother and gave birth to 18 cubs.  She lived to be 28 years old and sadly was killed by a vehicle October 2024 on a road that she had crossed many times.
