Description from the seller
No reserve price
Magnificent necklace of natural, high-quality Peruvian turquoise pearls, hand-knotted one by one, with an 18-karat yellow gold olive clasp.
Peruvian turquoise is a rare form of the gemstone chrysocolla. It features a greener hue and veining than ordinary turquoise. For centuries it has been the sacred stone of the South American Incas. It is traditionally still used today in Peru as an ornamental stone for the production of spiritual amulets.
For nearly a thousand years, Native Americans have been mining turquoise and making sacred jewelry with it. They believe that their minds connect with the universe when wearing a turquoise amulet. There is an ancient belief that the turquoise color is influenced by the physical and mental condition of the person who wears it. It is said that the color fades when its owner is sick or sad, and that it loses all color when a person dies. Conversely, if the owner is happy and healthy, the turquoise color is more saturated.
Today, owing to its distinctive beauty, its use is widespread in both jewelry-making and goldsmithing, as well as in costume jewelry.
This necklace is a new piece of jewelry (however, to assess its condition for yourself, please examine the photographs closely; they are part of the description).
Contour: 53.5 cm.
Turquoise beads: between 9 and 10 mm in diameter (may have slight variations depending on the piece).
Number of accounts: 44
Total weight: 57.03 g

It is delivered in a jewelry box. It will be carefully packaged.
