Variations on a Turquoise Theme

Vivid green turquoise is a great variation on the turquoise theme. The vibrant spring-like color takes it out of the realm of Native American craft, especially when combined with something utterly unexpected like red/blue/green/gold cloisonne beads and elaborately filigreed vermeil spacers. I had one tiny green turquoise nugget left and used it as the centerpiece here in an uninterrupted strand of color and texture. I finished the piece with a vermeil toggle and ended up with a lovely, affordable necklace.
Price: $200.
