№ 314 Turquoise
A beautiful bead made from crushed turquoise, handmade in Nepal, is framed inside a textured sterling silver ring. This beads is very special, leaving no scrap of turquoise unused.
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 1” long and hangs from a delicate but sturdy chain measuring 18 ½” and is finished with a 9mm lobster claw clasp. All metal is oxidized sterling silver.
