16" Turquoise Chokers

A strand of turquoise worn close to the heart is more than jewelry — it is a prayer carried with you. Turquoise has long been honored among the Diné as a stone of protection, blessing, and harmony. Worn near the collarbone, it keeps its strength close to the heart and spirit. These 16-inch chokers are hand-strung by Navajo artist Darlene Huskie (Nakai Diné Clan), who has crafted turquoise jewelry for nearly 30 years. Each necklace is thoughtfully arranged using Turquoise with traditional shell beads such as Baby Olive Shell, Chocolate Heishi Shell, or White Heishi Shell — materials historically traded and cherished throughout the Southwest. Every piece reflects balance, beauty, and the cultural tradition of wearing turquoise as a daily blessing. Graceful, grounded, and glowing with color — this choker brings the spirit of the Southwest to your neckline. Wear it alone for quiet beauty, or layer it for a look that tells a story.
