Jay King Turquoise teardrop beaded necklace

Turquoise teardrop beaded necklace. These necklaces feature numerous polished turquoise (or dyed howlite) teardrop-shaped beads that are often graduated in size and strung together with smaller accent beads and a clasp. Design: It is a strand-style necklace with teardrop beads arranged to hang downward and usually graduate in size, creating a fringe or bib effect.
Accents: The turquoise beads are typically separated by smaller accent beads, which can be metal (silver or gold-toned) or small round turquoise beads.
Style: This style is popular in Southwestern and bohemian jewelry designs. Some variations can resemble elements of a traditional Native American squash blossom necklace, though the piece in the image lacks the characteristic "naja" pendant and formal squash blossom stations.
