Turquoise Nuggets With Sterling Silver Salamander

Deep blue-green, irregularly shaped nuggets of genuine turquoise provide an interesting setting for an abstract sterling silver wire pendant in the shape of a salamander. Small matching heishi turquoise beads finish off this graceful necklace which is longer than the average necklace.

Salamanders, like all creatures, have a special place in the circle of life. They eat mosquitoes and other insects, thereby befriending their human neighbors. It is said that salamanders teach us to not draw attention to ourselves and that it is good to keep some things secret. Look but don’t touch salamanders, as their skin contains an irritating mild poison; likewise, the oils and germs on our skin can harm salamanders. They are cute as they scamper to their next destination.
