-All the silver within these pieces has been hand-aged to give an old-time heirloom look.
I source my stones from reputable collectors and directly from the mine where possible, this Royston was mined in the 70’s and is one of a handful I acquired whilst in the States.
Sleeping Beauty turquoise boasts a rich blue shade that’s clear and vibrant like the expansive skies of the American West. The stone is said to have acquired its name from the mountain where it was mined as it resembles a sleeping woman laying on her back with arms crossed. This mine has unfortunately been closed to turquoise mining since August 2012 and therefore Sleeping Beauty turquoise is now very much sought after and pieces made with this stone will only gain in value.
PACKING-
The necklace will be sent in a wooden gift box along with a Knight Mills pencil and original artwork postcards.

All my silver pieces are very limited, should the item you choose be out of stock at the time of ordering please contact me to discuss options. As the stones and beads within this piece are natural and hand cut, please expect slight variation in shade and shape. Traditional jewellery making techniques are used to make all pieces- piercing, shaping, stamping, soldering, stone setting and polishing etc are all done by me and by hand. No mass made cookie cut production here. Each piece will be different to the next and this is what makes every piece unique. I have an ever changing supply of stones and therefore custom orders are possible. Prices vary due to the carat, type and rarity of the stone, also due to the amount and weight of sterling used in each piece.
Please check your string regularly to check for any wear. This stringing steel is very strong, but overtime this could start to wear and your piece will need restringing.
