DESCRIPTION

One packet of 4 turquoise beads - they are semi-precious gemstone natural turquoise, dyed to give this beautiful green/blue colour.   The beads measure approx. 20mm along the threading hole, about 15mm across it, and are about 5mm thick (but they do vary in size and shape so these measurements are only approx).  They are flat sided so they hang beautifully. They are gorgeous organic shapes and have nicely rounded edges - not sharp or jagged.   They are matrixed - which gives them a stunning antique look and will add tremendous wow factor to any piece they are used in.

We love these beads.  They look fabulous grouped together to make a chunky necklace - a real statement piece but they look equally fab when used sparingly amongst other beads in long designs.  Try them on silver chain, leather, mixed with other turquoise beads.  They make super pendants.

COLOUR

A gorgeous green/blue turquoise with plenty of natural matrix running through the beads
