The slide is a tapered wedge crowned by a stepped cloud terrace cut in silver, and inside it a single blue turquoise of strong spiderweb matrix is set against a wedge of purple stone, with a column of thin coral, shell, and turquoise strips running down the left edge like a rule. The long tip below carries the same vocabulary at greater length, a field of angled bands in white shell, cream, tan, red coral, black, and turquoise arranged as intersecting diagonals that read as landscape and geometry at once. Both elements are set in heavy silver bezels with the stones brought flush to the metal, and the whole hangs on a braided alligator leather cord of 46 inches.
