Turquoise Desert Scene Necklace – Nacozari turquoise with snake pendant

Turquoise Desert Scene Necklace is crafted to evoke the rugged beauty and vivid hues of the Southwestern landscape. This distinctive necklace features authentic stabilized Nacozari turquoise beads sourced from Sonora, Mexico — prized for their vibrant blue coloring and unique matrix. The focal point is a hand-sculpted, hand-painted polymer clay rattlesnake pendant, complemented by additional hand-painted desert scene beads that echo the tones and textures of open skies and sandy terrain.

Designed with stainless steel memory wire, the necklace maintains its shape and offers durability beyond typical cord or chain styles. It includes an adjustable length with a 2″ extender, allowing fit customization from approximately 16″ to 20″.

✨ Symbolism & Meaning:

Turquoise is traditionally associated with protection, balance, and positive energy, while the Snake represents transformation, rebirth, and healing (due to skin shedding) alongside wisdom, fertility, and divine knowledge, but alsodanger, deceit (Garden of Eden), and temptation, acting as a potent symbol of life's cycles, duality (spirit/matter), and hidden power across cultures.

✨ Care Instructions:

• Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, oils, and household chemicals, as these may damage turquoise stones, painted surfaces, and metal components.
• Remove before bathing, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the turquoise and hand-painted pendant.
• When not in use, store the necklace flat or gently coiled to maintain the shape of the memory wire.
• Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, polishing cloths with chemicals, or abrasive materials.
• Avoid dropping or bending the necklace excessively, as this may damage the stones or alter the wire structure.
