|  | Turquoise and Carnelian Beaded Necklace
In the small mining community of Walsenburg, Colorado, jewelry designer Joan Eagle creates timeless pieces which transcend geographical and cultural barriers. Silver charms from Thailand and Indonesia blend seamlessly with agate from Montana, Arizona turquoise and Swarovski crystal from Austria. Constantly looking for unusual stones and beads, Eagle and her designers have the uncanny ability to locate rare antique glass beads crafted in Europe, some dating to the 1800s. Her intricate and beautifully color-coordinated designs are crafted under the name “Chipita”.
This necklace contains predominantly deep blue and orange seed beads, mixing opacity and shade interspersed with gold seed beads. It features turquoise beads as well as gold beads surrounding the central, orange cut carnelian stone.
Each piece is hand-made, so individual designs vary slightly.
