Comments about Liquid Silver and Turquoise Necklace:
Bought this necklace as a gift for my daughter. This piece is heavy enough to feel expensive without weighing you down. My daughter loves it and wears it both to work and when out on the town. Quite a unique piece of jewelry!

Comments about Liquid Silver and Turquoise Necklace:
This is a striking yet casual necklace. The liquid silver is finely done --- it does indeed flow. The turquoise beads are the colour of blue most prized in North America, with few inclusions to cloud their loveliness. They are rounded rather than in the more traditional disc-like form, but the effect is very pleasing. The necklace can be worn prettily with any outfit, on any occasion. And the value is good.

Comments about Liquid Silver and Turquoise Necklace:
I love this necklace! The best part is that it looks just as great with jeans as it does with a dressy outfit. I love the strands twisted together. It is a perect length too. I only wish you had earrings to go with it.
