This delicate necklace features a strand of 2mm faceted Turquoise in a shade of aqua green, combined with fine gold-plated accent beads and a faceted Ruby. The gold-plated center bead, an exact replica of an old Pre-Columbian gold bead, has a reddish warm hue and a smooth, matte surface.

To the Incas and Aztecs, gold represented eternity and the sacred source of all life. The wearer of this precious material was bestowed with energy, health and happiness. The symbolic and preferred matte quality of gold was believed to preserve its energy inward, versus shiny, polished gold which was believed to radiate energy outward
