This unique necklace features 5.7-6mm ultra rare, untreated, AAA gem grade round Sleeping Beauty Turquoise beads from my private bead collection spanning over 20yrs. These may be the most beautiful turqoise I have ever seen! Featuring a lightly hammered 14k solid yellow gold 1mm artisanal wire clasp, wire guards and end beads. The bright medium robin's egg blue is gorgeous, classic sleeping beauty with almost no matrix at all (please keep in mind it is a natural sleeping beauty turquoise stone and has some natural variances and a couple specks of pyrite matrix to remind you that mother nature made this incredible color). To the best of my knowledge, these stones are 100% natural, old stock, top grade sleeping beauty turquoise with no treatment (but there's always a chance, as the zachary method is nearly undetectable except with laboratory testing with XRF). The stone and color is so beautiful and dense as only some of the best sleeping beauty turquoise can be!
Please take note that because the turquoise is untreated, therefore porous, and although gem grade, it may change color with the wearer's chemistry, skin, oils, perfumes, creams and amount of wear, to a more green appearance over the years.
Measures 17.5" in length. Can be worn as reversible to show off the artisanal solid gold wirework clasp.
Great worn alone or layered with other jewelry!
Meticulously made with love in Northern Ontario ❤️
Please feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.
Cheers!
