Jewellery: Southwestern Matrix Turquoise & Heavy Artisan Trade Disc Opera Necklace

A remarkably bold, substantial 90cm vintage artisan opera-length statement strand balancing the raw, geological power of natural earth minerals with primitive design elements.

This hand-knotted necklace features an array of genuine, chunky matrix turquoise slabs and nuggets displaying a vivid robin's egg blue saturation shot through with intricate ochre-brown limonite veins. The stone elements are rhythmically paired with heavy, flat artisan trade discs and organic copper-toned spacers that give the piece an incredible structural heft and a beautifully weathered, primitive face. The strand culminates in a fascinating, eclectic bohemian focal cluster composed of a natural spiral Auger seashell, a polished copper coin, and a translucent teal sea-glass bead. An opulent, worldly piece of wearable art that loops elegantly as a dramatic wardrobe centrepiece.

Hand-selected genuine matrix turquoise specimens displaying natural host rock webbing, expertly paired with heavy, hand-worked pewter-alloy artisan trade discs and copper spacers. Meticulously assembled using traditional multi-strand waxed cord jointery, featuring secure protective hand tied knots between every individual stone to ensure durability and prevent surface friction. The inclusion of beach-combed marine auger shells alongside heavy raw Southwestern trade turquoise represents the iconic 1980s Santa Fe "Earth & Ocean" bohemian luxury movement.

Original Intended Use: High-impact statement wearable neckpiece. Alternate Suggested Use: Draped luxury vanity mirror display accent or an organic wall-art framing element.
