There is turquoise — and then there is Sleeping Beauty turquoise.
This extraordinary necklace features approximately 26.4 carats of beautifully matched Sleeping Beauty turquoise, individually set in solid 18K yellow gold in the fluid construction of a classic tennis necklace.
The color is exceptional: a clear, intensely saturated blue with the clean, nearly matrix-free appearance for which Sleeping Beauty turquoise is prized. Against the warmth of 18K gold, the effect is both striking and incredibly refined.
At approximately 17 inches, the necklace sits beautifully along the neckline. Worn alone, it has the presence of a true statement piece; layered with gold chains and pendants, it becomes effortless and unexpectedly modern.
What I love most about this necklace is the juxtaposition — an iconic Southwestern stone interpreted through the language of a fine-jewelry tennis necklace. It feels luxurious without being precious, colorful without being casual, and completely timeless.
A special piece and one that is increasingly difficult to reproduce at this quality.

Because turquoise is a natural material, subtle variations are part of its beauty. Color may also vary slightly depending on lighting and screen settings.
