3-Strand Blue Gem Turquoise J. Huntress Necklace #31932

This was made from some of the most rare turquoise today, authentic "Battle Mountain Blue Gem" from Nevada. The beads have shine, hardness, zat and life in the stones, teal to pure deep-blue to aqua: distinctively Blue Gem, even from across the room! The design is pure old-style, hundreds of different shaded fantail wafer and blue spacer beads. This is a great necklace to wear when you feel like wearing something luxurious, just for yourself, and can be worn with a black dress or when you're in a casual, laid-back mood in a t-shirt and jeans.  Battle Mountain Blue Gem was often found as tiny, thin veins running through the rock, these fan-tail wafers were meticulously made by John Huntress of Santa Fe from his stash of gem-grade rough Blue Gem. It has a high shine due to the quality of the beads, is 22" long at it's shortest of the three strands, 1" long wafers at the center, finished with simple sterling cones, hook & eye. And as always, more beautiful color in person. One of a kind.
