Natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Sterling Silver Ball Clasp Beaded Necklace | 19 Inches

Strung with approximately 50 carats of natural Sleeping Beauty turquoise beads, this handcrafted 19-inch strand displays the iconic, matrix-free "robin’s egg" sky-blue color that has made Arizona’s Sleeping Beauty Mine famous worldwide. Each smooth round bead measures approximately 4.2 mm, creating a clean, uniform line of vibrant turquoise color.
The strand is finished with a sleek, polished sterling silver ball push-in clasp (stamped 925), providing a seamless and secure closure that blends effortlessly into the design. Because the Sleeping Beauty mine closed permanently in 2012, genuine un-matrixed natural material of this quality continues to appreciate as a rare collector's gemstone. Handmade, brand new, and unworn—perfect as a standalone pop of color or as an anchor piece for southwest and fine silver layering.
