“The Raven’s Reliquary” Kingman Turquoise Breastplate Necklace in Silver

The Raven’s Reliquary

Kingman Turquoise Breastplate Necklace

A true one-of-a-kind statement piece, The Raven’s Reliquary is built around a collection of Kingman turquoise ranging from brilliant blue and blue-green to earthy matrix-rich greens, allowing the natural variation of the stone to become part of the composition.

The breastplate is constructed in a cascading, articulated design measuring approximately 10 inches long, with individually fabricated and heavily textured sterling silver elements framing each section. Hand-stamped details, dimensional borders and sculptural raven-inspired forms create a weathered, almost ancient character, while the movement between each section allows this substantial piece to settle naturally when worn.

The lower focal is a dramatic cluster of Kingman turquoise, bringing together multiple colors and patterns of the material before terminating in a sculptural crescent detail.

A handmade sterling silver chain brings the necklace to approximately 26 inches overall. A double shepherd’s-hook closure can be attached at different points along the chain, allowing the necklace to be shortened and positioned according to the wearer and neckline.

This is less a traditional necklace than a piece of wearable sculpture—a substantial sterling silver and Kingman turquoise breastplate, entirely built by hand and created as a singular piece.

One of one.
