Elephant Charm and Turquoise Necklace

This fun necklace contains brass elephant charms and bells which are braided between turquoise beads on brown waxed cord.

Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors.  It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, healing to the eye, as if carved from an azure heaven and slipped to earth.  Its unique shade of blue, often blue-green, lends it name, Turquoise, to all things of this tranquil hue.  The delicate veining or mottled webbing in cream or brown is inherent to the stone and serves to enhance its character.

Measures approximately 19 inches long.  Focal bead is 1 inch in length.
