Turquoise, Herkimer Diamond and Rainbow Moonstone Rosary Y Necklace
A little sky, a little starlight and a little moon, all on one chain. Rainbow moonstones are linked one by one into a gold rosary chain that glows soft blue around your neck. At the center, the chain drops into a Y: a sparkling Herkimer diamond, and below it a turquoise teardrop veined with golden-brown matrix, wire wrapped by hand in gold-filled wire.
It's the necklace for the woman who collects her own talismans and wears them close.

The Stones: Sky, Starlight and Moon
Turquoise is the sky stone, carried by travelers and wanderers for thousands of years as protection on the road. It's for the woman who follows her own map.
Herkimer diamond isn't a diamond at all. It's a rare, naturally double-pointed quartz crystal from the hills of Herkimer, New York, so clear and bright it sparkles straight out of the earth. It's known as the stone of attunement, a little lantern for your own clarity.
Rainbow moonstone is the goddess stone, the moon's own light, for intuition and new beginnings. Wear all three together and you've got protection, clarity and the courage to trust yourself.

How to Wear It
Let it sit in an open neckline, a scoop tee or a denim shirt with the top buttons undone, so the Y-drop can do its thing. Layer it with a simple gold chain or wear it on its own.
Natural Gemstone Variation
No two turquoise stones share the same color and matrix, every Herkimer has its own inner sparkle, and every moonstone its own glow. Your necklace will be uniquely yours.
About the photos: The photos on this page are AI-created to show the design, colors and how the necklace looks when worn. Your necklace is handmade in our studio, and the natural stones will vary a little in color and pattern.
Jewelry Care
Put it on after lotion and perfume, and take it off before swimming, showering or exercising. Turquoise is porous and moonstone is on the softer side, so keep them away from water and chemicals. Wipe the stones and metal gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store the necklace on its own so the links don't tangle.
