Opera Strand 4mm Golden Hills Turquoise Silk Knotted Necklace
Description
The Opera Strand Necklace | Delicate Drama
Offering an ethereal, continuous sweep of this coveted Kazakh treasure, this ultra-fine edition of Golden Hills Turquoise brings a refined sense of luxury to the collection. The piece showcases an unbroken, 36-inch ribbon of periwinkle, lavender, and sky-blue hues.
Knotted by hand on silk in our Doylestown studio, this opera-length design features delicate 4mm stones that display a remarkably soft, weightless drape against the skin. Ethically recovered from the Altyn Tyube mine during its fleeting winter excavation window, the strand is detailed with subtle hints of chocolate matrix that softly ground the airy, pastel tones of the gems. Designed without an extender to maintain its flawless, fluid silhouette, it features a larger clasp for ease of wear, allowing you to easily loop it long and layered or wrap it up for a multi-strand look.

Why we love it: We are obsessed with how the petite 4mm scale transforms this length into something entirely fresh, delicate, and highly layerable. It has all the presence of a classic opera strand but feels completely effortless and whisper-light to wear. The larger clasp makes styling a breeze, giving you the freedom to wear it as one sweeping, minimalist line or double it up closer to the collarbone for a punchier, clustered effect.
Care Tip from the Studio: 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!

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.
