Each piece is handcrafted in the Ozark Mountains

All beads are carefully chosen, including natural North American turquoise, and South Sea Saltwater pearls. We utilize solid gold, with two small Gold Filled beads at clasps for added strength and durability. Any use of gold filled beyond those 2 beads will be clearly specified.

Every piece offered is meticulously hand-knotted on high-quality nylon cord for superior strength and durability. This traditional technique, passed down through generations, ensures each necklace maintains its beauty and integrity over time while providing the fluid drape that makes our pieces so comfortable to wear.

While silk is beautiful, we choose premium nylon for its exceptional strength and longevity. Nylon provides the durability needed to support our solid gold components and precious turquoise stones, ensuring your investment piece will be treasured for generations. The nylon we use maintains the same luxurious feel and drape as silk while offering superior resistance to wear and moisture.

Hand-knotting is a time-honored jewelry technique where knots are carefully tied after every bead or roughly every inch, depending on the structure, bead size, and desired drape of each individual piece. This method prevents beads from rubbing against each other (protecting your precious turquoise), ensures that if the cord ever breaks only minimal beads would be lost, and creates the fluid, graceful movement our necklaces are known for. Each piece requires hours of careful, deliberate work - it's truly wearable art.

We craft our necklaces in three signature lengths, each designed to complement different styles and layering preferences:

Princess Length (16") - Our most popular length, the Princess hits gracefully at the collarbone, creating an elegant focal point that works beautifully with both casual and formal wear. This length showcases our centerpieces perfectly, allowing them to rest naturally at your décolletage.

Queen Length (18-20") - For those who prefer a longer drape, the Queen length falls below the collarbone, offering a more dramatic look that pairs beautifully with other necklaces. This length provides versatility for both high and low necklines.

Legacy Length (22-24") - Our longest length, designed specifically for layering enthusiasts. The Legacy length creates a beautiful cascade effect and layers seamlessly with shorter pieces, allowing you to create your own unique jewelry story.

Princess Length is ideal if you love jewelry that makes a statement at your neckline and pairs well with most collar styles

Queen Length is perfect if you prefer a longer drape or often wear higher necklines

Legacy Length is designed for those who love to layer multiple pieces and create depth in their jewelry styling

Absolutely! Each piece is individually hand-knotted, allowing us flexibility in length customization. Whether you need something shorter than 16" or longer than 24", please reach out before placing your order to discuss custom length options for your custom piece.
