A most rare Salvador Teran necklace, brooch pendant and matching earrings is being offered today with a combined weight of 150 grams. There is at least 15.5 inches of wearable length and comes with a custom extension for another 2.5in. in length. I believe the stones are obsidian and the silver is thick and quality all around. I can not find a book with this design and to find a rare Teran with an almost 1.5in. long, big stone is shear luck...
