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 against the skin. In the hand, they’re a joy to roll between your fingers, smooth and rhythmic with just the right weight. It’s a tactile pleasure, flexible and deeply satisfying. I adore layering these strands, playing with different stones, colors, and lengths, but they’re just as beautiful worn alone. Each one is knotted on silk thread chosen to complement the stones.
These are gorgeous turquoise beads with a beautiful blue-green color and just enough natural matrix to give the strand some variation and character. The smooth 8mm rondelles are a generous size, showing off plenty of that wonderful turquoise color and giving the necklace a substantial feel. It’s a really pretty strand, with the saturated color and natural markings that make turquoise such an easy stone to fall in love with.
Turquoise has been treasured for thousands of years and is traditionally associated with protection, strength, and good fortune. Across different cultures, it has been worn as both an adornment and a protective talisman.
