THE NECKLACE:

Incredibly delicious, this powerhouse necklace was designed with carefully hand picked Kingman turquoise nuggets that are all in their natural nugget form, that then act as a halo cluster for the large size oval cuts of royal purple amethyst.

I want to mention that this isn’t a necklace that can be made in a matter of hours, in fact not even days! To create a necklace like this is truly time consuming for an artist, since all the turquoise pretty much has to be in the same size in order for each panel to be basically the same in size!

Using these deep purple gemstones with turquoise gives this a more contemporary southwestern vibe and even though we relate turquoise with the southwest, this is a necklace you can wear anywhere in the world without feeling like you only have to wear other southwestern jewelry with it! But that’s your call! This will also look great by mixing other amethyst pieces with it!

Contributing to it’s 28” length, there are 18 panels total, with there being a generous amount of both stone & sterling, which add to the weight it has. So please go over the weight to be sure that this weight will be okay for you before purchasing. (See weights below)

** This is long enough that you can either slip it over the head OR by using the closure! Also, if you’re on the petite side, you may be able to double it for a more dramatic look, where all you see is this large concentration of turquoise & amethyst! Lastly, I want to mention, that if you have no more than a 27” waist, you can also wear this as a belt!!!

If you scroll down to photos 17,18,19, there is a matching Kingman turquoise & Amethyst cuff,which is made for a smaller 6.25” wrist size. Also there are earrings (See photos 18,19-Not yet posted) that will go with this necklace, but instead of Kingman nuggets, they have Sleeping Beauty turquoise little cabochons.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. But please realize that all monitors are different, so the materials can look more vivid (or duller) from one computer to the next.

To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please either check it out being worn to get a rough idea (see mannequin photos) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
