Rare Diamond Cut Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Necklace Santo Domingo

This Diamond Cut Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Necklace from Santo Domingo Pueblo is a rare and elegant work of art, created entirely by hand by a gifted female artist whose work has been showcased at the prestigious Native American Museum in Manhattan. Each bead of this necklace is cut, shaped, and polished by hand from Sleeping Beauty turquoise, one of the most sought-after stones in the world. Sleeping Beauty is no longer actively mined, making high-quality pieces like this incredibly rare, and the diamond-cut finish adds an extra brilliance that enhances its natural sky-blue glow. The diamond cut itself is symbolic: each facet reflects light in many directions, representing clarity, resilience, and the many paths of beauty and balance in life. At the back of the necklace, finely crafted heishi shell beads provide a graceful finishing touch, blending tradition with beauty while adding comfort and balance to the overall design.

The artist is known for her museum-quality craftsmanship, and she creates these necklaces exclusively for us. Every piece she makes carries not just her immense skill, but also her soul, as well as the spirit of her mother and grandmother. She treats us like family, infusing each necklace with love and tradition.

The Santo Domingo Pueblo has a deep history of bead-making and jewelry traditions, and this necklace embodies that legacy. More than adornment, turquoise is seen as a stone of protection, wisdom, and healing, carrying powerful spiritual meaning. In this necklace, those qualities are amplified by the devotion and tradition of the woman who crafted it. The time, patience, and care that go into cutting each bead by hand transform this piece into something beyond jewelry, it becomes a living expression of heritage, resilience, and sacred beauty.

Owning this necklace means carrying with you not only the brilliance of rare Sleeping Beauty turquoise but also the spirit of generations of Santo Domingo women whose artistry and strength continue to shine through each bead. It is a treasure that connects the past with the present, and one that will be cherished for years to come.
