Turquise Beads | Turquoise Stone | Smooth Heishi | 2mm

Turquoise beads can be worn in plenty of different forms in necklaces, bracelets and earrings, with one such form being called heishi. The innate beauty of turquoise stone is a well-known property in the gemstone world, but is still worth praising. But, when the solid green colors of the turquoise are shaped in heishi is when we get a jewelry item worthy of royalty. Heishi practice actually originated in Central America with Native Americans, who honed tiny pieces of shells and gemstones and strung them together on strands. If you take a closer look at the picture depicting this item, you will also see fine lines separating individual pieces that comprise the heishi form. Though it takes a lot of effort to improve on the natural beauty of the green turquoise, you can try either combining these components of the heishi form with other gemstones, such as garnet, or coral. Be warned, you might like it so much that you spend all your time building a heishi necklace. Item Details:This listi
