Necklace with matching earrings.
Sterling silver beads, lobster clasp, extender chain, bail, and ear wires.
Turquoise was mined in Arizona from the Sleeping Beauty mine, which closed in 2012. I purchased this strand many years ago and made this necklace recently. The strand is 100% Sleeping Beauty, the teardrop center bead is possibly Not SB. I do not recall where I purchased the focal bead from. I am positive it is genuine, just don’t know the source.
Necklace: 17-19” length with 1.5” drop. Beads are graduated and range in size from 1/4”-1/2”.
Earrings: 3/4” total length. Turquoise bead is 1/8”x1/4”
Strung on high quality 49 strand flexible beading wire. Securely crimped with strong corrugated crimps and covered with sterling silver crimp covers.
