Jay King Petrified Wood and Turquoise 19-1/4" Necklace

Jay King Petrified Wood and Turquoise Necklace
Collected by a rancher in Washington state many years ago, this rare petrified wood was part of a private collection until recently offered for sale. The "Bald Cypress" species of trees were petrified when a volcanic eruption covered them about 15 million years ago. After cutting and polishing the wood, the neutral look needed something to brighten it up and bring it to life, so Jay used the natural Sleeping Beauty turquoise to be his beacon of color.

Stone Information (all sizes and weights approximate)

• Gemstones and pearls are sometimes treated to enhance their natural beauty. To learn more and find out about care instructions see details.

• A portion of the stringing material on this necklace is purposely exposed to provide flexibility and strength, to allow the beads to move freely, and to let you coil the necklace for storage. Stringing the piece too tightly could result in damage to the cording or the beads.

• Due to the composition and natural properties of mined gemstones, the product image may show slight differences to the actual stone in color saturation, tone, hue or other gemstone characteristics such as phenomena, color banding and color matrix.

• This piece is strung with Soft Flex—a flexible beading wire that helps improve strength, durability and longevity of the jewelry design.
