Dressed Up Turquoise is a 3 strand blue Turquoise and white Cultured Pearl necklace that can also be worn twisted! I used blue Turquoise chips and nuggets along with flat round discs and medium to large ovals. There are also Delica Glass spacer beads and it's finished with a Silver plated fancy slide and lock clasp. This one just feels fancy!!
