Handmade Gemstone Braided Beauty
Genuine Turquoise Necklace
Although turquoise is usually paired with sterling silver, trust me, once you see it with gold, you'll wonder why. The depth of color of these gemstones are perfect partners with the splendor of gold, resulting in a genuine turquiose necklace of amazing beauty. I prefer to use turquoise that contains some of its natural dark coloring, such as you'll see in this necklace, to add interest to my finished pieces. This genuine turquoise necklace will draw admiring glances whether you dress it down with your jeans or up with your favorite dress.
I carefully braid genuine turquoise beads with 14K gold-filled tubes to create this lovely handmade gemstone necklace. Choose the 5mm beads shown here, or smaller beads to more strongly showcase the gold. In either case, your necklace will be finished with a handmade clasp toggle or hook and eye clasp fashioned of 14K gold-filled wire.
To complete a set, choose a coordinating bracelet and earrings. This turquoise necklace is usually 18" long, but you can order it shorter or longer if you prefer.
You can wear this necklace simply for its beauty or for the healing properties of turquoise.
