I hand crafted this set from genuine turquoise, faceted tiger eye. and sterling silver beads and clasp. The sterling beads were crafted here in the USA by the Navajo. I have had them for decades but never used them until now. I buy my clasps and many of the sterling pieces from a Thai co-op where the profits go to funding village services such as a school and micro-loans for village women who want to start businesses. This is a statement piece and will go with everything from jeans to gowns. please note that the color of the turquoise is most accurate in the photos against the white marble backdrop. This necklace is Brand New and professionally crafted in a smoke free home. Please check out my other jewelry and decorative items. I am an artist and writer, and make these pieces and decorative items to augment my retirement income.
