Alka Golden Hills Turquoise Necklace
Description
The Alka Golden Hills Turquoise Necklace | A Rare Minimalist Gem
A sweet, single-stone statement that speaks for itself. The Alka Necklace—named after the Kazakh word for "pendant" or "necklace"—honors the heritage of its origin. It features a hand-wire-wrapped teardrop of genuine turquoise from the Altyn-Tyube deposit in the Golden Hills of Kazakhstan, suspended from a sturdy rolo chain.
This piece is designed to be the ultimate daily companion: unique enough to be a conversation starter, yet minimalist enough to layer with other pieces in your collection.
-
The Stone: Rare Golden Hills Turquoise from the Altyn-Tyube deposit.
-
The Craft: Hand-wire-wrapped on a durable 14k gold-filled or sterling silver rolo chain.
-
The Fit: 18 inches long—designed to sit perfectly in the hollow of your neck.

Why we love it: We love the simplicity of the Alka. It highlights the rare periwinkle-blue hue that the Altyn-Tyube mine is famous for, without any extra noise. It’s that "effortless" piece that pulls an outfit together instantly. Because of its rare stone and timeless silhouette, it also makes a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift for someone special (or yourself!).
Care Tip from the Studio: To keep your turquoise and gold-filled chain looking bright, avoid contact with water, lotions, and perfumes. Store your necklace in a dry place and gently wipe it with a soft cloth after each wear to maintain its luster.

GENERAL CARE TIPS FOR ALL JEWELRY:
- Storage Matters: When not being worn, store your jewelry in a dry, air-tight container. A plastic bag is ideal for this purpose.
- Avoid Water Exposure: All jewelry is waterproof, but it’s not mineral or chemical proof. Minimize exposure to pools, saunas, and beaches. The minerals and chemicals in these environments can cause oxidation.
- Limit Contact with Products: It's best to avoid sunscreens, lotions, oils, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, body washes and perfumes. The chemical additives in these products can affect the metal's finish. It’s always best to remove your pieces if there is a possibility of coming into contact with any additives.
- Remove During Activity: To prevent damage, remove your jewelry before working out or sleeping.
- Handle with Care: Be mindful when handling your jewelry to avoid scratches or impacts.
