Egyptian Turquoise Floral Inspired Necklace
This exquisite necklace is a true celebration of Patania artistry. Hand-fabricated by third-generation silversmith Sam Patania, it features thirteen captivating pieces of high-quality Egyptian turquoise, each carefully chosen for its vibrant hue and natural beauty.
This design incorporates delicate floral and vine motifs from our iconic Vine Series, whose original elements were created by Frank Patania Sr. in his renowned Floral designs, one of which is included in the permanent collection in the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian.
This necklace is a testament to that enduring legacy, blending historic craftsmanship with Sam’s masterful contemporary touch.
If this piece feels familiar, it’s because Sam made a similar necklace in gold and Candelaria turquoise that’s featured right on the inside cover of our book, Legendary Patania Jewelry: In the Tradition of the Southwest by Kim and Pat Messier.
Rich in story and unmistakable in style, this necklace is more than adornment — it’s a piece of Patania history to cherish for a lifetime.

About our Floral and Vine Series
Nearly 100 years ago, the incredible Frank Patania Senior founded our family’s multigenerational passion and business. Frank was known for his avant-garde designs and techniques, many of which we still use today.
The most well-known piece created by Frank Sr. was his Floral Spray Cuff, which now resides in the Renwick Gallery as part of the Smithsonian’s permanent collection. For years we have wanted to recreate this design in a collection suitable for everyday wear but still as grand as Frank’s original piece, a true blend of past and present.
In 2023, our third and fourth generation, Sam and Marco Patania, made this happen. They constructed dozens of individual Vine elements, which they seamlessly combined to create a series of finished pieces that retain the essence of the original Floral design.
The Vine collection holds a huge piece of our family's history and will become a part of yours every time you wear it.
