This piece of turquoise glows like a hot cloudless summer day. I’ve worn it a few times I have gotten complemented on it which I take as a good sign! My Dad considered Turquoise to be a living stone, the highest and most precious and it can be worn for almost every purpose. Protection, good luck, healing. It is a more modern design but I really like that about it. It’s a great every day wear necklace and it goes with everything. I love it, I would keep it for myself but if I did that with all my pieces then I couldn’t share them and Art should be shared! It weighs 15.9 grams and all parts if it are handmade by yours truly. The cord is leather and It is stamped in the back with my name and it’s purity 925 sterling stamp.
