Hand Knotted Turquoise Bead Necklace
$515.00
One-of-a-kind piece. Once it's gone, it won't be recreated.
Handcrafted in silver. Made to be worn and lived in. Ships within 3–10 days.
The weight of it settles against your collarbone and you just know.
This is not a delicate necklace. It has presence. Each bead is real turquoise, hand knotted on hand dyed silk thread, graduated from small to substantial as it moves toward center. The matrix running through the beads, those dark veins of brown, black, and gold threading through the blue and green, is what makes this piece alive. No two beads read the same. The whole strand shifts as it moves.
It drapes the way good jewelry should. Settled. Certain. Like it belongs there.
Wear it alone and it is enough. Layer it with other pieces and it anchors everything around it. It has that quality, the kind of necklace that makes everything else make sense.
Finished with a sterling silver clasp. One of a kind. When it is gone, it is gone.
The details: Natural turquoise beads, 4mm to 10mm. Hand knotted on hand dyed silk thread. 22.75 inches. Sterling silver clasp
Materials
Each Sun Salt Silver piece is handcrafted using sterling and fine silver with natural stones chosen for their character, color, and story.
I work primarily with turquoise, opal, gemstones, shark tooth fossils, and other stones that feel grounded and alive. No two stones are identical — natural variations are part of the beauty.
All jewelry is made by hand in my studio using traditional silversmithing techniques. The result is work that feels substantial, personal, and meant to be worn for years.
Care & Longevity
Sun Salt Silver jewelry is made to be worn and lived in. With a little care, your piece will keep its beauty for years.
Because many designs feature natural stones like turquoise, opal, shell, or fossilized materials, treat your jewelry gently.
A few simple guidelines:
• Remove before swimming, showering, or working with your hands
• Avoid lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products
• Store pieces separately to prevent scratching
• Gently polish silver with a soft cloth when needed
Natural stones can be sensitive to water and chemicals. Keeping your jewelry dry and stored safely will help preserve its color and finish.
