A rare Southwestern statement built around five talons, vivid blue turquoise, and the weight of old-world silverwork.
The Five Talons Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Necklace is a commanding vintage-inspired collector piece from the Iron & Iris Rare Artisan Jewelry Collection. Five sculptural claw forms are set with luminous blue turquoise inlay, each separated by graduated silver beads that give the necklace substantial presence and rhythm.
The original retail tag identifies the turquoise as Sleeping Beauty turquoise, prized for its clean, vivid blue color and association with the historic Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona. The five talon elements create a bold silhouette that feels equal parts Western artifact, ceremonial adornment, and wearable sculpture.
Its naturally aged silver finish and visible patina give the piece the depth and character collectors look for in older Southwestern jewelry. Rather than polishing away that history, we have chosen to preserve the necklace’s existing finish and character.
Designed for the collector who wants something unmistakable, The Five Talons is equally powerful over a black shirt, tailored jacket, Western coat, or worn as the defining piece of an otherwise minimal look.
