Serene and luminous, this necklace showcases a Sleeping Beauty turquoise — prized for its pure, even sky-blue color, untouched by matrix or variation. For millennia, turquoise has been revered as a stone of protection, wisdom, and connection to the heavens — worn by ancient civilizations from Egypt to the Americas as a talisman of good fortune and spiritual grounding. This particular turquoise, with its flawless robin's-egg blue, carries that legacy forward. Set in a smooth gold bezel that wraps the stone completely, the turquoise is both protected and elevated, its vivid hue creating a striking contrast against warm yellow gold. Suspended from a delicate chain, it rests at the collarbone with quiet presence, offering a touch of the Southwest's vast skies on a clear day. This is a necklace that honors tradition while feeling utterly timeless, a bridge between ancient reverence and modern elegance.
There are two metal choices:
• Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Solid 18k yellow gold.
The chain is adjustable (16" / 18").
Turquoise’s roots stretch back to Ancient Egypt, where it was named Pierre Tourques (or Turkish stone) for the traders who brought it to Europe. It is believed to bestow hope, success, protection, and courage.
Turquoise is one of the birthstones for December and marks the 6th or 11th anniversary.
