This is really nice. Great colors and textures.
Thanks Toya! I thought so too. I'm not used to seeing turquoise however, so that was a bit odd. I think some is amazonite but a few looked definitely like turquoise.
Lovely. Turquoise or blue/green hebron? and amazonite.
Didn't strike me as hebron, at least as I know it. Will have to wait and see I guess :) (I actually love the waiting part!!)
So delightful to look at -- so much variety and color. Is it a recent creation from old elements or was it found as is. Lots of artistry here.
I love the hamsa pendants!
Lovely necklace, the blue beads look more like turquoise than amazonite.
I found it already strung (on Ebay). I actually received yesterday & it's stunning. Odd that the pendants are so "perfectly" matched however, but they appear to be definitely old & grungy :) I cleaned on my commute home just with my fingers & the silver definitely started coming through the more brassy colors. The beads themselves are glorious. Definitely appears to be turquoise & 1 or 2 amazonite. The amber is all very different however. I just saw 2 very similar necklaces at BeadParadise.com (selling for 6 - 8 times what I paid!), so don't know if someone recently strung these for sale or not. Thank you for all your praise (so funny how it makes one feel proud :) Lynne
I have seen this one sold about a year ago from a UK seller but if you received it yesterday that person must have sold it to you again, jewelry travels far!! Yes you can be proud of such a lovely necklace, heads will turn!!
If it helps, I think I sold the pendant elements to someone on E bay a couple of years ago.
They are vintage rather than Antique.
Nice composition
