Turquoise necklace

[stracci2000]

Yesterday I made this necklace.
There's an IG seller who shows many versions of this turquoise dangle style necklace.
So of course I was inspired to make my own.
The turquoise is Kingman, purchased from the recent gem/mineral show.

That is so beautiful @stracci2000! Such talent.

I love it! You balanced the pieces so well, and it looks GREAT with your hair!

 

[stracci2000]

Thanks @springerspaniel and @lala646
That's covid hair! I couldn't get to the hairdresser during covid, so I just let it get long.

Thanks Annette! I have fun playing with jewelry!

And no, I haven't run out of female movie stars...not by a longshot!
But I love the men, too! Yes, it's Peter Lorre! I'm a big fan.
There will be more fine actors to come.
I just wanted to switch things up a little!

Thanks Daisy! I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Also, I'm sure my hairdresser is not pleased that I stopped calling her!

Oh my gosh! Gorgeous! This is one of my favorites for sure of the things you made.

So beautiful. It's my birthstone

 

[stracci2000]

Thanks @Mreader !
It was kind of a departure for me, but I'm happy with the outcome.

Thanks @RRfromR ! Your December birthstone! I bet you have some turquoise, too!

@stracci2000 I have none and I'm just learning about it. Look at this one

French Art Deco Turquoise and Diamond Pendant

Remember when you were young how you liked to take different things and put them together to make something new? Jewelers like to do that, too. Oblong, exquisitely pierced, and sparkling all over with icy-white European-cut diamonds totaling 6.45 carats, this dazzling pendant, measuring 2 3/8...

@stracci2000 , I take that back, I have a pair of earrings that one of my friends gifted me 25 years ago from a local artisan - she has a place in Palm Springs area. I can't wear them because they are silver and destroy my ears. I agree, I need some

@2Neezers @dk168
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

 

[Catmom]

Beautiful necklace! And thanks for telling us which mine. Some day I’d love to see a feature of your diverse turquoise collection. Have you seen the Millicent Rogers collection? Such a cool museum/historical place. I think I’ve mentioned before so sorry if I’m repeating myself!

 

[mayday]

You've outdone yourself this time! The turquoise cabs match so beautifully. I think this riff on the traditional squash blossom style is so wearable! It looks so fab on you.

Oh yes, I've been to the Millicent Rogers Museum. Such a fabulous Southwestern collection! Pottery, rugs, textiles, jewelry!

I'm always interested in the origin of the turquoise.
Of course beautiful turquoise is mined all over the world, but I am partial to the US mines. I think it is somewhat important to know where the stones come from.
However, some really great stones come from China, Mexico, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.

Thank you @mayday!
I'm thinking of more multi-stone necklace designs for the future.
