A classic pendant featuring Tuurquoise from the legendary Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona, USA, elegantly mounted in handcrafted 18Kt gold. The gemstone displays the pure, robin’s-egg blue color that made Sleeping Beauty Turquoise world-famous. Remarkably free of visible matrix, the stone presents a smooth, even hue that radiates a serene and timeless beauty, making it one of the most sought-after varieties of Turquoise ever mined.

Named after the nearby mountain whose silhouette resembles a sleeping woman, the Sleeping Beauty Mine produced Turquoise celebrated for its exceptional clarity of colour and minimal veining. Unlike many Turquoise deposits that yield stones with intricate matrix patterns, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise became prized for its uninterrupted sky-blue appearance, often regarded as the benchmark against which all other Turquoise is measured.

Turquoise has been treasured for thousands of years, revered by ancient civilizations from Egypt and Persia to the Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. Its vivid blue colour has long symbolised protection, wisdom, good fortune, and a connection to the sky. Fine Sleeping Beauty material is particularly valued because of its rarity, beauty, and increasingly limited availability since mining operations ceased.

Combining iconic American provenance, exceptional natural colour, and timeless craftsmanship, this pendant is a distinguished example of one of the world's most beloved gemstones.
