The piece opens on the turquoise, a blue-to-green stone, usually opaque, often carrying a darker matrix web across the surface. The form is a long bead strand built for looping or wearing long, and it belongs to the Dzi-style bead series, where the bead pattern leads the design and the companion materials support it.
Each component is listed with the way it behaves, so nothing about the ageing comes as a surprise. The turquoise appears as an opaque blue-green stone, with a darker matrix webbing that shifts piece to piece. Against the skin, being soft and slightly porous, it prefers to be kept clear of hard contact.
Bead scale is listed in two steps, from 6 mm to 8 mm. Tell us how you intend to wear it and we will point at the option that suits it. Stillness is an intention a wearer may bring to the piece, not a promised effect. Slight differences in shade, inclusion and grain between pieces are inherent to the materials. The piece, its dimensions and the preparation window are set out in writing first, and only then is payment taken.
Care
Keep it away from perfume, sunscreen, soap and household cleaners, none of which the stone tolerates well. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
