Purple Love Necklace - Purple Turquoise and Hammered Sterling Silver Bead Necklace
Make a statement with this unique bold necklace!
It is made with purple (dyed) turquoise beads, sterling silver spacers and a sterling silver toggle clasp. It is accented with a large hammered sterling silver centerpiece that creates a striking contrast with the turquoise beads.
Some turquoise beads are smooth, while others have textured parts. The necklace is 18.75" long, but has a regular fit because of the chunky bead style. Each turquoise bead is just under 1" long and just under 0.75" wide.
