Rare Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Graduated Necklace

This one-of-a-kind Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Graduated Necklace is a radiant expression of Native American craftsmanship, lovingly handmade by an extremely talented female artisan from the Santo Domingo Pueblo (Kewa). Known for their deep-rooted jewelry-making traditions, Santo Domingo artists are celebrated for their meticulous techniques and use of natural materials passed down through generations. This necklace is a beautiful example of that heritage, reflecting both cultural pride and personal artistry.

The piece features a striking arrangement of genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones, each carefully selected for its vivid sky-blue hue and smooth finish. These rare stones—sourced from the now-closed Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona—are highly prized in the world of turquoise for their clarity and minimal matrix. Their subtle variations in size and tone create a rhythmic, organic flow, making every inch of the necklace feel alive with texture, color, and spirit.

More than an accessory, this necklace carries a story of tradition, resilience, and artistic excellence. It is a wearable piece of history, honoring both the land from which the turquoise was born and the hands that shaped it. Whether worn for its beauty, its cultural significance, or its rarity, this necklace is a timeless treasure that speaks to those who appreciate authenticity, heritage, and the artistry of Native American women.
