The Joy of Turquoise


I have a fascination with Turquoise. I first became really aware of it when I looked at photographs of Egypt. I was quite young, maybe ten. At that point, I related that we in America had Turquoise as well. And then when I started working for my uncle, Patrick Dennis Sieler, I got to see the variety that was Turquoise.

This necklace is American and the darker beads are Chinese Turquoise. The large circle is Chinese Turquoise and the coin is Chinese and obviously well used. Hopefully there is a lot of Chinese luck coming with the coin.

The clasp has tiny fresh water Pearls on the ends.
