The turquoise is matched on each medallion and the stone on the naja. The beads are handmade and the naja appears to be sandcast. Each medallion is a different size beginning with the smaller ones at the top and gradually becoming larger as it gets closer to the naja. The largest are 2" x 1 1/2" and the smallest at the top of the necklace are 1 1/4" x 1 1/2". The bezels are smooth. There is a fairly heavy patina on the silver medallions and beads. It measures 15 1/2" in length. Mr. Smith was a very well respected silversmith in the artists' and collectors' communities and unfortunately died in the prime of his life in 2012. See less
