Emerald, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, and 18 Karat gold Beaded Necklace

This exquisite double-strand layered necklace features fine gemstones and high-karat gold craftsmanship. The primary structure consists of faceted emerald rondelle beads that exhibit a vibrant medium-green hue with natural inclusions typical of the gemstone species. The upper strand is accented with a single polished 18-karat gold bead at the center, while the longer lower strand supports a sophisticated pendant assembly. The pendant features a spherical 18-karat yellow gold filigree bead showcasing intricate openwork patterns, below which hangs a substantial teardrop-shaped Sleeping Beauty turquoise drop. This specific variety of turquoise is prized for its uniform robin's egg blue color and lack of heavy matrix. The necklace appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible chips to the stones or deformation of the gold elements. The craftsmanship suggests a high-end designer or boutique origin, likely produced within the last ten years, balancing traditional beaded aesthetics with modern luxury materials. The luster of the emeralds and the saturated blue of the turquoise create a striking color contrast, further elevated by the richness of the 18-karat gold hardware.
