This amazing single strand necklace has been created with stunning, rare hand cut Sleeping Beauty beads, a few sterling silver spacers, a pave Diamond sterling crescent moon and pave Diamond lobster clasp. Sleeping Beauty turquoise is known for its gorgeous blue color and has very few veins, if any. This piece is petite but mighty and sits at about 17” long. The clasp can be worn on the side, rear or in front with charms or a small pendant hanging from the lobster clasp. Absolutely enough to wear solo or layer up with other favorites.
Sleeping Beauty turquoise is one of the most sought-after varieties of turquoise, prized for its pure, sky-blue color and minimal veining. Mined from the famous Sleeping Beauty Mine, this gemstone is known for its dreamy robin’s-egg blue hue that evokes clear desert skies and tranquil waters.
Its beauty lies in its simplicity—many pieces display a smooth, even color with little to no matrix, allowing the vibrant blue to take center stage. Because the mine is no longer producing turquoise, genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise has become increasingly rare and highly collectible.
In jewelry, Sleeping Beauty turquoise brings a fresh, luminous pop of color that pairs effortlessly with pearls, diamonds, silver, and gold. Its serene blue tones feel both timeless and modern, making it a favorite for heirloom-quality and one-of-a-kind designs.
