The Sleeping Beauty copper mine in Globe, Arizona, has produced one of the most alluring and sought-after shades of robin's-egg blue turquoise, with little to no matrix, in the world. The mine has been closed since 2012, thereby making this turquoise even more valuable.
Forty-six perfect 8mm round Sleeping Beauty turquoise beads make up this gorgeous necklace. In between each of these turquoise beads is a 3mm round gold-filled bead. This fabulous strand showcases a 14mm round filigree pendant of pure 14K gold and Sleeping Beauty turquoise beads. A fancy 14K gold-filled toggle clasp puts on a finished touch. A special treasure to value for life.
Necklace is 20.5 in. long
Matching earrings are available
