Irregular turquoise nuggets — some bright robin's-egg, others heavily veined with rust-brown matrix — run the length of the strand, punctuated by coral red, black, and fluted silver rounds.

  • Material: Sterling silver, Kingman turquoise, coral, onyx
  • Stones: Kingman turquoise, coral, onyx
  • Color: Turquoise, coral, black, silver
  • Length: 25–26 in
  • Closure: Bar-and-ring toggle
  • Sold as: One of a kind
  • Origin: USA

Smaller chip beads gather at the front and graduate outward to larger nuggets toward the clasp. Two patterned silver cylinders anchor the composition on either side of the center. Long enough to fall well below the throat without needing a layer beneath.

Details
  • Hand-strung tumbled stone beads
  • Mixed bead shapes and sizes
  • Bar-and-ring toggle clasp
  • Small-batch construction, one of a kind

The turquoise is natural stone, so bead color, veining, and shape vary from bead to bead. No two necklaces are exactly alike.

The Story

Kingman turquoise is mined near Kingman, Arizona, and carries the district's signature blue-to-blue-green color threaded with rust-brown matrix from its host rock. Every stone reads as a distinct map of lines and patches rather than a uniform surface.

Tumbled nuggets favor the stone's natural shape over the symmetry of cut beads — a long-standing approach in Southwestern beadwork. Coral, onyx, and sterling silver rounds are placed along the strand to build rhythm and contrast against the turquoise.

Each bead is selected and laid out by hand rather than machine-matched, so the sequence of colors and shapes is decided one necklace at a time.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Southwestern turquoise beadwork

Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear and store flat or hanging, away from other jewelry to protect the stone surfaces. Keep away from water, lotion, and perfume.

Questions

How long is it?

Approximately 25–26 in, long enough to sit well below the throat rather than close to it.

Is the turquoise real?

Yes — genuine Kingman turquoise, tumbled into nugget shapes rather than cut to a uniform bead.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

Very similar, but not identical. The stones are natural and each strand is laid out by hand, so bead color, veining, and placement shift from piece to piece.

How do I clean and store it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing and store flat, away from other jewelry and away from moisture, lotion, or perfume.

What kind of clasp does it have?

A sterling silver bar-and-ring toggle that fastens at the back of the neck.
