This is a very exquisite necklace that must not be overlooked! This piece of Southwest jewelry is hand strung out of genuine sterling silver, along with real multicolor beads. The necklace is made up of TWO strands that consist of: 2-mm, 3-mm, and 4-mm silver round beads, along with 9-mm Turquoise, Howlite, and Fire Agate round beads. The two strands in this necklace elegantly graduate, while being held together by two Howlite divider beads so that the necklace will lay perfectly around your neck. Each end of the necklace is accented with a silver bead and cone for an amazing finish. The cones are stamped sterling.

Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of their appeal and beauty.

Howlite is named after its discoverer Henry How. Howlite is known for its great final polish and rich luster. Howlite is often mistaken for "white buffalo" or "white turquoise" due to the similarity of appearance. Howlite is a combination of pure white with black veins; highlighting the beauty and balance of opposites. Howlite has high calcium content for strong healthy bones and teeth. It would make a wonderful gift for a pregnant or nursing mother.
