Description
This turquoise is from Afghanistan, and the ancient trade route of “The Silk Road”. I love the look of this natural turquoise! In its’ semi-rough state, it is far more interesting than a polished stone!
Five gorgeous natural beads make up this design. Each bead has a pair of hand made bead caps to accent the stone. I hammered each bead cap for more texture.
I formed and chased the pattern on the clasp and a forged toggle bar secures it all.
Each bead is about 18-20 mm in size and the Necklace is about 22″ long.
I created my classic “Loop in Loop Chain” completely by hand, one link at a time. The classic ancient style of this chain has the feel look and feel of antiquity. It pairs so beautifully with the aged look of the beads!
