This lovely necklace is strung with a black natural leather cord with a gorgeous black/gray tahitian pearl closure and is highlighted with a huge hand carved sleeping beauty turquoise donut bead approx 10mm diameter. This necklace adds a pop of color to any outfit! The turquoise was professionally stabilized prior to tumbling and drilling for a lifetime of wear! It is such a gorgeous deep robin's egg blue with almost no matrix! 20" in length.
Made with love in Northern Ontario!
I stand by the quality of my sleeping beauty turquoise and am obsessed with the stuff! ❤️ It is becoming harder to find and I only purchase from reputable stone dealers in the USA. I aim to provide the best quality (either untreated, zachary processed or top grade clear epoxy stabilized... NEVER fake, slabbed or dyed). To ensure quality, I perform acetone, fire, smash and microscope testing on 1-2 stones from every strand I obtain. Because sleeping beauty turquoise is a natural stone, some matrix may be present in the stones, however, I do aim for minimal to no matrix when possible.
