Turquoise Teardrop Pendant Necklace on 18" Gold-Filled Oval Chain
One drop of sky on a classic gold chain. A 1" turquoise teardrop, bright blue with veins of golden-brown matrix, is wire wrapped by hand in flat gold-filled wire and hangs from a heavy gold-filled ring on an 18" gold-filled oval chain. Two little turquoise beads finish the end of the chain, so the back looks as pretty as the front.
The kind of necklace you put on in the morning and forget to take off.

Turquoise Meaning: A Piece of the Sky
Turquoise is the sky stone, carried by travelers and wanderers for thousands of years as protection on the road. The matrix running through it is the earth it grew in, sky and land in one stone.
It's for the woman who follows her own map, and likes a little piece of the sky to remind her where she's headed.

How to Wear It
At 18" the teardrop sits just below the collarbone, perfect with a V-neck sweater, a white tee or an open collar. Wear it on its own or layer it with a shorter gold chain.
Natural Gemstone Variation
Every turquoise has its own shade and matrix, so your teardrop will be uniquely yours.

Jewelry Care
Put it on after lotion and perfume, and take it off before swimming, showering or exercising. Turquoise is porous, so keep it away from water and chemicals. Wipe the stone and gold-filled chain with a soft, dry cloth and store it on its own.
