This magnificent vintage turquoise necklace is a celebration of natural color and Southwest beadwork artistry. Five continuous strands of hand-selected natural turquoise chip and nugget beads — each displaying a vivid, saturated sky-blue with characteristic dark matrix — are twisted together into a lush, thick rope that drapes with luxurious weight and movement. At 81 grams and 24 inches in length, this necklace makes an immediate and lasting impression.

The strands are gathered and secured at center front by a beautifully cast sterling silver double-cone barrel clasp — a sculptural hourglass form that cinches the five strands into a single elegant focal point, the polished silver contrasting brilliantly against the vivid turquoise. A sterling silver lobster clasp at the back provides secure and easy closure.

The turquoise throughout is exceptional in quality — uniform in color, richly saturated, and selected for consistency across all five strands. The dark matrix veining adds natural character and depth to each bead, no two exactly alike.
