Three-millimeter blue turquoise heshi beads on an 18-inch sterling silver strand with lobster clasp and 3-inch extender - the classic Southwest turquoise necklace in its most refined, minimal form. Heshi beads are flat disc-shaped beads that sit close together along the strand, creating a smooth, continuous surface of color rather than the rounded profile of a standard bead. The blue turquoise color varies naturally bead to bead in saturation and tone, giving the necklace the organic, non-uniform quality of genuine natural material. A piece that references a material tradition stretching back thousands of years while wearing with equal ease on a casual Saturday or a creative-industry workday.
