Turquoise is thought to have first come to the Western world via the Silk Road from Persia via Turkey. It is predominantly found in Iran, the western United States, Egypt, and China. Long been associated with good fortune, turquoise was inlaid in King Tut's extraordinary death mask, and has adorned royalty throughout the world for millennia.

Our genuine handcrafted turquoise pendant necklaces are hewn from genuine turquoise and will vary from blues to greens with interspersed spiderwebs of browns and grays. topped with a variety of either sterling silver, gold-plated sterling silver, or brass beads with semi-precious gemstones (sterling silver, turquoise, and obsidian shone in photos at left), they're strung on an adjustable 36" length of 2mm goat lace leather. After you add the necklace to your Shopping Cart, check the pop-up box to let us know if you'd prefer natural or black-dyed leather.

Oh, and we do hope it will bring you great good fortune!
