Please check the size in the images. There is no turquoise (turquoise) stone. It is a lapis lazuli pendant, probably made of brass. The chain is an aftermarket addition. A one-of-a-kind item, a bargain found in the Middle East. I think it can be used by both men and women. It's lovely, so I was collecting it, but I'm selling it. It has a design reminiscent of the Middle East. You may want to replace the chain with one you like. Please take a good look at the images and make your purchase only if you are satisfied.
