Azure Sky Turquoise with Ocean Peach Coral, United by Silver

So. . . here's that beautiful circle of turquoise and coral, done up in an 18" necklace with the unique floral oval clasp. This turquoise is the exact shade of sky blue found in Bisbee turquoise with one difference -- the Bisbee mine in Arizona has been mined out for years and that turquoise has a spectacular copper matrixing. These beads are most likely color-assisted and perhaps reconstituted, found in China, which makes them very affordable. Whether they're "helped" or not, the color is what attracted me and it has created the perfect backdrop for the clasp that I've had for about a year and the sweet pale peach natural coral beads that I paired with it.
