Sun Moon Co. Sleeping Beauty Necklace

Sleeping Beauty turquoise is a highly prized gemstone from Globe, Arizona, renowned for its consistent, solid, robin's egg blue color and lack of matrix (veining). Mined near a mountain resembling a sleeping woman, this turquoise is valued for its pure, bright color and, since the mine closed in 2012, its rarity has significantly driven up its value. Sun Moon Company's jewelry designs stem from Gahan Garner's own inspirations, coupled with the handiwork of talented jewelers from the island of Bali. Numerous designs combine sterling silver and high carat gold, which has become the signature style of many Sun Moon pieces.
