Our sleeping beauty turquoise bracelet is handmade in 925 sterling silver with natural turquoise stones from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona. The center stone is a 10x8mm oval cabochon cut surrounded with sterling silver circle links, beads, and turquoise stones wrapped onto our curb chain. We added an extender so you can adjust the length. Stones have a beautiful robin's egg blue color. About Sleeping Beauty Turquoise: The name sleeping beauty came from the mountain where the turquoise was mined. The mountain resembles a sleeping woman laying on her back with her arms crossed. The stones color is a robin's egg blue with little to no matrix or veining. These stones were discovered by accident while miners were pulling copper and gold from the mine. The Sleeping Beauty Mine stopped producing turquoise in 2012. Since the closure of the mine, the value of this gemstone continues to rise as supplies become harder to find. Often you will hear sleeping beauty turquoise being called a true gem of the Southwest. Turquoise stones do go through a process of stabilization to harden the stone and stabilize the color to prevent fading over time.
