Opera Strand 7mm Golden Hills Turquoise Silk Knotted Necklace
Description
The Opera Strand | Continuous Elegance
Offering a breathtaking, continuous sweep of this coveted Kazakh treasure, this long-strand edition of Golden Hills Turquoise brings a dramatic sense of luxury to the collection. The piece showcases an unbroken, 33-inch stream of periwinkle, lavender, and sky-blue hues.
Knotted by hand on silk in our Doylestown studio, this opera-length piece features uniform 7mm stones that cascade with an exceptionally fluid, liquid-like drape. Ethically recovered from the Altyn Tyube mine during its fleeting winter excavation window, the strand is rich with a deep chocolate matrix that beautifully grounds the airy, pastel tones of the stones. Designed without an extender for a clean, seamless finish, it features a larger clasp for ease of wear, making it effortless to style as a long, elegant statement or doubled up for a layered effect.

Why we love it: The generous, endless length of this strand gives it an effortless grandeur that feels both modern and sophisticated. We love how the 7mm scale keeps the longer silhouette feeling light and wearable, while the larger clasp makes fastening and transforming your look a breeze. It is a highly versatile, collector-level investment piece that commands attention whether worn long and dramatic or doubled up closer to the 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!
