Vintage M. White Sterling Silver & Turquoise Shadow Box Necklace & Earrings
Striking vintage Southwestern sterling silver and turquoise necklace with matching earrings, signed M. WHITE and bearing an additional arrow-form maker/trading mark.
The necklace features five graduated teardrop-form pendants, each set with an oval turquoise cabochon in a dramatic recessed shadow-box setting. Pierced and overlay-style details create wonderful depth and contrast against the naturally oxidized silver.
The five pendants are suspended from two strands of elongated elliptical and rounded silver beads, transitioning to a single strand toward the clasp. Matching teardrop earrings repeat the same turquoise, shadow-box and pierced design, making this an especially attractive complete set.
The jewelry is marked M. WHITE. While M. White has been associated in the secondary market with Southwestern and Native American jewelry, we have not independently verified the maker’s identity or tribal affiliation and therefore make no specific tribal attribution.
