Malachite Hand-Knotted Graduated Strand Necklace in Sterling Silver

There’s an undeniably sensuous allure to a hand-knotted strand of gemstones. Each bead moves with a liquid grace, the silk thread giving the necklace a supple drape that molds effortlessly against the skin. In the hand, they’re a joy to roll between your fingers—smooth, rhythmic, and grounding. I love layering these strands; they bring a rich, polished depth to any look, whether paired with other necklaces or worn alone as a statement of quiet strength. Each one is knotted on silk thread chosen to complement the stones, a subtle detail that elevates the entire piece.

This strand features a beautifully graduated sequence of natural malachite beads, ranging from bold 12mm spheres at the center to refined 4mm beads near the clasp. The classic banded patterns—lush ribbons of emerald, forest, and lagoon green—flow across each bead with striking clarity. The graduation gives the strand a graceful silhouette and a luxurious presence on the neck, without ever feeling heavy. It’s a standout piece for malachite lovers and an incredibly versatile strand for layering.

Malachite is a stone long associated with protection, transformation, and heart-centered energy. Its vibrant green hues are said to support emotional clarity and personal growth, while inviting a deeper sense of calm and empowerment.
