Desert Dreaming Turquoise Necklace

Gold

$287

A one-of-a-kind turquoise pendant is bezel-set in luminous golden Alchemia and suspended from a fluid herringbone chain. Long carried as a stone of protection and tranquility, turquoise is believed to quiet the mind and strengthen intuition.

Sleeping Beauty turquoise is treasured for its luminous, clear-blue coloring and beautifully minimal veining. Mined near Globe, Arizona, the stone takes its name from the surrounding mountain formation, said to resemble a woman sleeping beneath the desert sky. Since the mine ceased turquoise production in 2012, these stones have become increasingly rare. 

✦ Turquoise measures approximately 17–20 x 25mm / Pendant measures 1.5–1 5/8 inches including bail

✦ Alchemia pendant w/ baked lacquer finish / Lead-free, nickel-free + hypoallergenic

✦ 18 inch herringbone chain / 14k gold over sterling silver

✦ Each stone varies naturally in size, shape, color, and patterning

Handcrafted in Mexico + signed by Charles Albert

About this Design

About this Metal

Pronounced "vehr-may" a thick layer of gold plating is deposited onto a solid sterling silver base. To be legally called "vermeil," the gold layer needs to be at least 2.5 microns thick. This is a great option for people with sensitive skin. It is not as strong as Gold Filled but still a great option. Suggested Wear: to prolong the luster and plating of your Vermeil jewelry be careful of hard water exposure, chemicals in shampoos, ocean salt water, chlorine in pools, heavy metals from sweat. Because Vermeil is plated we do suggest occasional wear and to store in a dry area.
