Three-Strand Turquoise Tassel Necklace
with Shell Heishi, African Glass & Sterling

This show-stopping Necklace features nearly 36 inches of varied Turquoise Stones in a medley of Green, Brown, Gold & Blue.  The Stones include Turquoise Nuggets, Ovals, Rondelles, Heishi, Barrel Beads and Rounds, combined in a random pattern and then integrated with Dark Brown Shell Heishi.  The Turquoise is highlighted by Hand Made Sterling Silver Rounds.  The primary Necklace Strands are joined at the bottom by a 19 mm Olive Green Glass Bead, creating a Six-Strand Tassel (these Glass Beads are hand made by artisans in Ghana, West Africa and imported to the U.S. by Bead to Feed, a non-profit organization*).  The Necklace is finished with Sterling Silver Rounds and a Sterling S-Hook Clasp. The piece weighs 275 grams and is 30 inches long; the tassel is 5-1/2” long including ¾” glass bead.

$449

* 100% of the proceeds from Bead to Feed glass bead sales go to supporting an orphanage, My Mother’s House, in Ghana, West Africa.
