Deep Green is a 16 inch long Turquoise green, brown and blue heishi bead necklace with 4 round beads above a teardrop shaped focal drop. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver toggle clasp to complete Deep Green. The varied shades of Turquoise make this stunning and interesting. The heishi shaped beads made it feel more rustic and casual. I like that it will coordinate beautifully with most other colors.

Turquoise is December's birthstone, but everyone can wear this amazing gemstone. It's said by some people that those who wear Turquoise will gain the "Wisdom of the Ancient Ones"!

The beauty and history of turquoise is hard to match! Steeped in history and intrigue, it is truly a captivating stone.
