Handmade Red Coral Turquoise Silver & Garnet Necklace

Handmade Red Coral Turquoise Silver & Garnet Necklace
Evoke the exotic with this exquisitely handcrafted AsiaEXP necklace. This radiant piece features an eye-catching red coral stone offset by long strings of turquoise beads and accented with garnet and silver. Silver is one of northern Thailand’s most precious resources, valued for its cool, glittering beauty and universal appeal. Combined with glass or stone beads and skillfully crafted into unique items of jewelry by talented northern Thai artisans, it has never looked better. Both garnets and turquoise are traditionally associated with protection and light. Garnets were frequently worn by early explorers and travelers to ward off evil and illuminate the night, while turquoise has for centuries been perceived as a holy stone, a good-luck-charm or a talisman. The vivid colors of this necklace will brighten any mood as well as any wardrobe. Wear it to spice up a business suit, infuse a simple outfit with style, or add a touch of exotic chic to your favorite evening dress. Measures 18 inches in length, with a 4-inch tassel.
