The Kingman Turquoise Bead Necklace is a pop of true turquoise blue you can wear every day. Genuine 4mm Kingman turquoise beads are hand-knotted on blue silk and finished with hand-coiled French wire and a tarnish-resistant Argentium sterling silver S-hook clasp. At 18 inches, it sits right at the collarbone.
It's handmade in the USA, light enough for every day, and made to layer or wear on its own.
Genuine Kingman Turquoise
Our turquoise comes from the famous Kingman mine in Arizona, one of the oldest turquoise mines in America. Kingman turquoise is known for its vivid sky-blue to blue-green color, and every bead has its own natural shade. Learn more in our Kingman turquoise guide.
A Turquoise Beaded Necklace
Our gemstone beaded necklaces are made with real stones and fine metals. Small 4mm beads give this turquoise beaded necklace a dainty, everyday feel, and the blue silk shows between every knot.
Handmade With Fine-Jewelry Techniques
Hand-Knotted Silk
Each bead is knotted by hand, which keeps the turquoise from rubbing and gives the strand a soft, fluid drape. No glue, no shortcuts.
Hand-Coiled French Wire
French wire protects the silk where it meets the clasp, a detail that helps your necklace last for years.
Argentium Silver Clasp
Argentium is a sterling silver alloy that resists tarnish better than traditional sterling, so the S-hook clasp stays bright with less polishing. It's easy to fasten, even one-handed.
