Description from the seller

No reserve price
I am offering this wonderful necklace from the Himalayan area, composed of 30 beads ranging from 12 mm to 14.5 mm of beautiful Hubei turquoise.
There are signs of time that increase its charm.
Each bead looks like a tiny planet that tells its own story.
Spherical beads like these were used, among other things, in head ornaments in Mongolia.
Historical notes in Mongolian and Chinese culture.
Turquoise is associated with the sky and water, symbols of life.
Deeply rooted since ancient times in nomadic cultures, it is also a symbol of wisdom and spiritual connection. When worn, it has healing properties; the shift to green indicates that the stone fulfills its protective role against illness.
