Warm layers of bright blue Kingman turquoise and vibrant rusty orange spiny oyster shell are combined with the presence of Authentic Navajo pearls to create this beautiful statement piece. The 5 stands (21 to 22 in each) are gathered elegantly with large sterling cones. A substantial clasp and chain heave been added to complement the elegance of the necklace. The composition feels balanced and tactile—earth-driven, expressive, and meant to sit comfortably against the body. Wear alone or layered with your favorite pieces!
Materials & Craft
Hand-strung by Kathy Edwards, this one-of-a-kind necklace features Kingman Turquoise and natural spiny oyster shell beads paired with sterling silver 5 mm Navajo pearls. The turquoise and spiny oyster display organic variation in color, surface texture, and thickness, creating a rhythm that feels intentional yet unforced. Finished with a sterling silver clasp, the construction is durable and designed to let the materials speak for themselves.
Individuality Note
This necklace is one of a kind. Natural variation in the Kingman Turquoise and spiny oyster shell—along with the spacing and sequencing of the beads—ensures that no two pieces could ever be alike. The balance and composition are unique to this strand.
