Turquoise Necklace Examples

Navajo Turquoise Necklace - The Navajo Squash Blossom style Turquoise Necklaces above was made with Manassa Turquoise from Colorado. This is a Navajo Turquoise Necklace, Navajo handcrafted in Sterling Silver in a Squash blossom Turquoise Necklace style. This Necklace does not have the actual Squash Blossoms usually found on this type of a Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace so it is not actually a Squash Blossom Necklace. This Navajo Silver Turquoise Necklace is unique and along with the rare Manassa Turquoise it is a great collectors piece. Many old Indian Traders consider this type of Navajo Necklace a "Navajo Turquoise Necklace Pendant" as the Naja on the bottom of the Necklace looks like a large Pendant. You can read more on this Navajo Turquoise Necklace Pendant on its presentation page.

The Turquoise Necklace on the right is a Southwestern cluster style Turquoise Necklace made in Sterling Silver with Damale Turquoise Gemstones. This beautiful piece of Turquoise Jewelry was created by John Hartman of Durango Silver Co, John cut the Damale Turquoise stones and also did the Silver work to create this one of a kind Damale Turquoise Necklace.

More Turquoise Necklaces

To the left is a Chunky Turquoise Necklace that is unique to itself and a one of a kind. Nattarika took many types of Turquoise Beads and made them into a old style Turquoise Bead Necklace that has a vintage appearance but is not actually a vintage piece. This Turquoise Beaded Necklace is attractive when worn and the different shapes and color's of the Turquoise Bead Pendants in the center stand out nicely. The Turquoise Necklace on the right is another type of Necklace that could be considered a Chunky Turquoise Necklace, however, the Turquoise Beads are more refined as they are hand cut roundel Turquoise beads in different sizes that create the chunky appearance. The Chunky Bead Necklace look really stands out when worn as the large and small beads strung together makes them dynamic when worn.

Above are two Turquoise Pendants that you can make into your own Turquoise Necklace Pendant by how you hang them from different chains, strands of beads or whatever you dream up on a daily basis. If you plan to do this, check out your Necklaces and Silver Chains for the diameter of the bail on the Pendant that will be needed. Most of our bails on our Silver Turquoise Pendants are large as our Pendants are large, however, we can make many different styles of bails that can accommodate many types of Necklaces, we can even make bails that are open like an S or even large lobster clasps that spring closed.

The White Turquoise Pendant Necklace on the left was made in the lost wax style. This is done by starting with the White Buffalo Turquoise Stone and then applying layer after layer of Jewelers wax to create the design. Each lost wax Necklace Pendant that we make is totally one of a kind and unique to itself. The Bisbee Turquoise Pendant Necklace on the right was made in Sterling Silver by John Hartman in his Victorian style of Silver work. Notice the size of the bail on this Pendant in comparison to the bail on the White Buffalo Turquoise Pendant, it is much larger and will accommodate a larger Silver Chain or set of beads to hang from.
