Tibetan Turquoise at Anita's Beads


Tibetan Turquoise has to be one of my favorite stones for beads. I love the variation in color, the mixture of greens, browns, and blues along with the dramatic black contrast of the matrix. All items shown are 16-inch strands. Email Anita for more information or to request a price list.




Turquoise Top-Drilled Petal Beads


All of these strands of top-drilled graduated petals measure 16-inches. Email Anita for more information or to request a price list. These are all natural turquoise, (nothing synthetic, dyed or reconstituted).
