Natural Arizona Chrysocolla
The chrysocolla was sourced from the historic Arizona Copper Mine and remains completely natural and untreated. No heat treatment, dyes, stabilization, or other mechanical enhancements have been used.
The remarkable coloration shifts effortlessly between shades reminiscent of turquoise, azurite, and malachite. Every bead possesses its own unique mineral landscape, creating the impression of miniature planets formed by nature itself. In natural sunlight, the colors become even more vivid, revealing extraordinary depth and brilliance.
The necklace is professionally hand-knotted on silk thread, with knots placed between every bead to protect the gemstones from contact and provide flexibility and longevity.
Sterling Silver Karl Lagerfeld Clasp:
The necklace is completed with a secure sterling silver clasp bearing the Karl Lagerfeld logo. The logo is clearly visible on the clasp itself and can also be seen in all listing photographs where the clasp is shown. The clasp serves as an elegant finishing detail that complements the exceptional quality of the necklace.
Dating to approximately the 1990s, this necklace beautifully reflects the bold organic aesthetics of vintage designer jewelry and timeless bohemian style. Its exceptional scale, natural Arizona chrysocolla, and refined craftsmanship make it a striking collector's piece as well as a versatile statement accessory.
A rare and unforgettable necklace for collectors of fine gemstone jewelry, lovers of bold bohemian design, and anyone who appreciates the extraordinary beauty of natural minerals.
