Rayana 9-13mm Golden Hills Turquoise Silk Knotted Necklace
Description
The Rayana Necklace | Heavenly Radiance
True to its name meaning "Heaven" or the "Gates of Paradise," the Rayana Necklace offers a bold design featuring this rare Central Asian treasure. This capsule release of Golden Hills Turquoise commands attention with its substantial presence, showcasing a striking spectrum of periwinkle, lavender, and sky-blue hues.
Hand-crafted in our Doylestown studio, each bead is knotted on silk to ensure an elegant, heavy drape. Ethically recovered from the Altyn Tyube mine during its fleeting winter excavation window, this statement-scale 9–13mm strand is rich with a deep, dramatic chocolate matrix that anchors the airy, cloud-like colors of the stones.
-
The Stones: Authentic Golden Hills Turquoise (approx. 9–13mm).
-
The Craftsmanship: Artisanally hand-knotted on pale blue silk.
-
The Fit: Adjustable 16–18 inches long.
-
The Metal: 14K Gold-Filled finishes.
Why we love it: The larger, statement-scale stones carry a commanding, soulful energy. We are captivated by how the intricate, earthy matrix patterns wind through the cooling lavenders and periwinkles, ensuring no two strands are alike. It is a striking, collector-level investment piece that brings a sophisticated weight and artful silhouette to your neckline.
Care Tip from the Studio: Like all turquoise, Golden Hills Turquoise is a soft and porous stone that absorbs liquids, chemicals, and oils easily. We recommend being especially careful about lotions, sweat, and conditions that will expose your piece to possible damage or discoloration. To maintain the integrity of your hand-knotted jewelry, avoid exposure to wet or moist conditions. Please remove your necklace before showering, swimming, or applying moisturizers, fragrances, and sunscreens. Storing your necklace flat will prevent the silk from stretching and ensure it stays beautiful for years to come!
