Product Description
 
Turquoise was carried along the Silk Road before it had a name in European language. This Mala strings 108 beads of it on light pink woven silk, each stone selected for its natural vibrancy and strung by hand to create a balanced and fluid drape.
 
The silk is sourced from a house with over 150 years of heritage, its quality lending the same authority to the finished piece that the stone brings from its own long history.
