Purchased around 2005 from an Indian jewelry specialty store in Kobe. This is a stunning and fashionable necklace with an overwhelming presence, featuring natural turquoise that shines with a vibrant blue reminiscent of the tropical sky, connected with round garnet beads. The contrast between the randomly carved turquoise and the calm Bordeaux color of the garnet is exquisite. The elaborate construction includes flower-shaped silver parts arranged to protect the garnets, as well as screw rings inserted between the turquoise stones to act as buffers. Turquoise is produced worldwide, and while its mineral composition is almost the same, it varies in color, such as green, brown, or blue, depending on inclusions, climate, surrounding geological layers, and environment. This item was purchased in the United States. The parts were hand-carved one by one by local Native Americans, who selected the pieces, drilled holes, and combined them with garnets and silver parts to create a unique, handmade piece. Despite the hard materials, the vibrant colors give it both a glamorous and understated feel, making it suitable for both casual and chic styles. I was drawn to the aura of the natural stones and acquired it, but I have never used it and have kept it as a display piece, so it is in almost the same condition as when it was purchased. The string is original, but it has sufficient strength and should not break for the foreseeable future. There are variations in size, unique patterns, and color unevenness characteristic of turquoise, but please understand that these are natural products. Although I purchased it as a natural stone, I do not have an appraisal certificate, and I do not know the exact details of whether it has been colored or processed, so please be aware of this. I think it will be useful for outings in the coming season, so I will sell it to those who understand natural stones and are looking for a unique, glamorous, and fashionable necklace.
