Very sweet - looks like sterling silver with genuine turquoise. The only thing I did not like, which is pictured, but I didn't notice when I purchased the cross, is that the turquoise beads actually have holes drilled through the bead and then they were mounted onto the alloy back. It is barely noticeable in the picture, and anyone wearing the jewelry probably won't notice, but I'd have preferred to have undrilled beads used.
