A cluster pin centered on a large oval turquoise cabochon, its blue face veined with matrix and framed by a twisted silver rope. A symmetrical surround of round and teardrop turquoise stones sits in sawtooth bezels, the cabochons ranging from solid blue to lightly matrixed. Applied silver raindrops fill the points between the settings, and the recessed silver carries a darkened patina consistent with age.
