A 21" sterling silver necklace strung with approximately 4mm x 5.5mm reconstituted turquoise heishi beads and approximately 2.5mm x 5.5mm sterling silver rondell beads. Finished with an infinity style sterling silver lobster clasp closure.

This necklace combines two distinct bead types in alternating sequence along a 21" strand: reconstituted turquoise heishi beads and sterling silver rondell beads. Heishi is a bead form with a long history in the jewelry traditions of the American Southwest, particularly associated with the Santo Domingo Pueblo of New Mexico, where heishi beads — thin, flat disc-shaped beads drilled through their centre — have been made from shell, stone, and other materials for centuries. The 4mm x 5.5mm heishi beads in this necklace are disc-shaped: 5.5mm in diameter and 4mm in thickness, so that they are wider than they are tall and sit as a sequence of flat discs along the strand rather than as spherical or oval beads. Reconstituted turquoise is produced by grinding natural turquoise — including offcuts, chips, and material that is too porous or fragile for use as solid stones — into a fine powder, mixing it with a binding agent such as resin, and compressing the mixture under pressure into a solid material that can be cut and shaped. The resulting material contains genuine turquoise mineral content but is not a solid natural stone: the turquoise particles are held together by the binding agent rather than by the original mineral matrix of the stone. Reconstituted turquoise is distinct from stabilized turquoise, in which a solid natural stone is treated with resin to improve its structural integrity without altering its form, and from synthetic turquoise, which is produced entirely from non-turquoise materials. The sterling silver rondell beads at 2.5mm x 5.5mm are rondelle-shaped: wider than they are tall, with a faceted profile that tapers from the maximum diameter at the centre to a narrower diameter at each end. The infinity style lobster clasp is a lobster clasp whose form references the infinity symbol — a figure-eight loop — making the clasp itself a visible design element rather than a purely functional fitting.

A refined everyday necklace for turquoise and Southwest jewelry lovers or anyone looking for a reconstituted turquoise heishi bead necklace where 4mm x 5.5mm turquoise disc beads alternate with 2.5mm x 5.5mm sterling silver rondells on a 21" strand with an infinity style lobster clasp.

✨ How to Wear

Wear alone as a refined turquoise heishi strand below the collarbone, or layer with longer chains. The 21" length positions the necklace below the standard collarbone position. The infinity style lobster clasp sits at the back of the neck as a decorative closure. The sterling silver rondells pair naturally with silver and mixed-metal jewelry.
