Imagine a necklace meant to be worn long and looping, a cascade of cool blue green stones against silk and lace. Each turquoise is different from the next, some flecked with golden webbing, others as blue as a desert sky, strung at intervals along a fine gold chain. There’s a raw, natural elegance here, the kind of beauty Victorians prized when they brought stones from distant lands into the drawing rooms of England.

Handcrafted in 9 karat gold around 1890, this chain measures a generous 42 inches in length. It holds 18 turquoise stones in a variety of natural shapes and sizes, the largest measuring 17 × 11 × 21 mm. The gold chain itself is 1.3 mm wide, giving a subtle framework for the striking gems, and the necklace has an overall weight of 45.6 grams. There are no marks but it tests as 9k gold.

Long enough to wear doubled or draped, this is a necklace that feels as though it carries a bit of the earth itself, untamed, storied, and ready to be part of your own history.
