This necklace features an Afghan turquoise bead suspended inside a textured sterling silver ring.

Turquoise has traditionally been thought of as a stone to unite earth and sky.  It is considered a strengthening stone while also instilling inner calm and enhancing intuition. I use turquoise that is hand carved in Afghanistan with bold cuts and a matte finish as well as more highly polished stones hand cut in China and India.

Pendant is ¾” long and hangs from a delicate but sturdy chain measuring 18” and is finished with a 9mm lobster claw clasp.  All metal is oxidized sterling silver.
