this listing is for 1 turquoise necklace.

This natural untreated turquoise beads have one of the most bright color I've ever seen! you will love the color - it is unbelievable!

It is authentic vintage natural turquoise round beads 14k gold clasp necklace - looks like in original condition!! this turquoise has variety of robin egg blue beads and others are green-blue shades! the size of the beads approx from 9mm to 11mm and the weight if approx 55g! approx 16"

this turquoise necklace was professionally tested by local reputable GIA graduate gemologist and been confirmed to be natural untreated turquoise.

last two photos show this necklace next to 2 others -untreated and tested as well- just for a color demonstration. this listing only for 1 necklace shown on the first photo. 2 others are listed separate and not included in this sale.

as it is vintage it shows age - cord looks original and may need to be restrung in future (but now it is in very good condition with no problems). I could have it restrung, but I did not want to ruin authentic vintage item and I want the buyer to see that he is buying authentic item and can be sure nothing was added or replaced.

made approx after 50/60ss

THIS necklace made of the turquoise mined long time ago, so there a chance that this mine does NOT produce any more/or closed - so this item can NOT be produced any more!

clasp made of solid 14k yellow gold and it could be worn as pendant too. it works well and has no problems.

it is rare to find NOT treated turquoise these days! Today, only small percent of natural, mined turquoise is hard enough to set in jewelry (because most of the turquoise is soft and porous, but some types of turquoise are more hard and do not need stabilizing - they are rare! this turquoise beads looks like very hard, like a rock. So most of turquoise mined today is stabilized to preserve the color and add hardness.

"Today, only 3 percent of natural, mined turquoise is hard enough to set. The rest, pulled from the mine’s remnants, is stabilized and sold in bulk. today is almost impossible to find a strand of turquoise which is round and not stabilized. " this is not my opinion - this is from popular web source.
