Sage Horizon Pendant Necklace” by Shasta Brooks
"Sage Horizon Pendant Necklace"
Black Hills turquoise, sterling silver
Pendant: Approx. 2.25" total drop. Chain: 26" sterling silver bead ball chain
With its soft contours and tranquil palette, the Sage Horizon pendant evokes
the quiet vastness of high desert mornings. At its heart lies a smooth, oval
shaped Black Hills turquoise stone from Nevada, in luminous shades of mint

green—subtle, serene, and flecked with warm matrix like scattered
sagebrush on open land.
Cradled in a hand-hammered sterling silver setting, the pendant's surface
bears the marks of its making—an anvil-forged texture that speaks to both
tradition and craft. A five-pointed star in polished silver crowns the piece, a
guiding symbol suspended between earth and sky.
Finished with deep oxidization to highlight its natural contrast, Sage Horizon
hangs from a clean, modern bead ball chain. It's a refined, unisex statement
—crafted for those drawn to stillness, soul, and the shifting colors of the
West.
Pendant: Approx. 2.25" total drop
Chain: 26" sterling silver bead ball chain.
“I prefer the ageless old pawn look of a fine silver patina over gold. I choose cubic zirconia over diamonds – ethical to use, high impact, high quality, and wearable every single day. I use natural turquoise stones. The lively teal and copper tinted variations of Kingman and Royston are my favorites.”

About Shasta Brooks
Shasta Brooks designs using two simple philosophies. The tactile feel of jewelry is just as important as how it looks. The most beautiful pieces use contrasts in style and materials.
“My jewelry is about the playful blending of contrasts, mixing familiar materials and textures in new ways. My style is about the amalgamation of the old and new, modern minimalism and simplicity set against the rustic beauty of the West.”
Shasta’s work is characterized by oxidized sterling silver with the texture of an aged anvil, containing natural turquoise, hand stamping, and occasionally accented by sparkly gemstones. As a true silversmith, Shasta Brooks only works with sterling silver.

“I aim for a balance of masculine and feminine in my designs.” Her pieces relax into the look of classic Santa Fe style. Simple classics are easily layered into more complex and interesting looks.
“Fine jewelry should both look and feel well-loved. I want my pieces to be like your favorite pair of cowboy boots, fun and comfortable, perfect for any occasion. I wear my cowboy boots with both my fanciest beaded cocktail dress and my most casual tee shirt and jeans. I want jewelry that is just as adaptable.”
Like her jewelry, Shasta is a person of contrasts. Raised as a true rodeo cowgirl on a rural west Texas ranch, she ventured out to college, law school, business ownership, marriage and motherhood, big cities and small ski towns, and eventually to Santa Fe, the place she always knew was home. After twelve years in Santa Fe, life has taken her to Fort Collins, Colorado. She never lost her unique relaxed rural style. She just adapted it to the adventures of life and her jewelry has adorned her every step of the way.
