Park Canyon // Toiyabe Mountains Turquoise Pendant

Paying homage to Nevada’s hundreds of ghost towns and the longest mountain range in Great Basin State borders, this pendant is part of a YouTube video series where I make Song Dog Silver pieces inspired by Nevada out in it. This pendant was made in Park Canyon Ghost Town, a Big Smoky Valley ghost town nestled in the 125-mile-long Toiyabe Mountains, with coloring reminiscent of native stone structures found at most ghost towns in the region, and vivid flashes of green that represent one of Nevada’s loftiest ranges.

This Brannon Blue Nevada was mined in Nevada, and made into a cabochon by Denver Otteson. Backed by sterling silver, this granite-inspired tannish turquoise stone is flecked with flashes of bright green, is quarter-sized and ready to wear with a 16″ or 18″ sterling silver chain of your choice. When ordering, please indicate which chain length you’d prefer.

Each purchase comes gift wrapped, along with a silver polishing pad for optimal flashiness and a complimentary Song Dog Silver sticker.
