Royston Turquoise & Hand-Forged Brass Collar Necklace
Some stones seem to hold an entire landscape. In this Royston turquoise, rich blue-green color moves through an earthy matrix of brown and black—a natural pattern shaped over time and impossible to repeat.
The turquoise is held in warm, textured brass and suspended from a structured collar that sits close to the neckline. Bold yet grounded, the composition allows the character of the stone and hand-worked metal to speak for themselves.
The Stone
-
Genuine Royston turquoise — sourced from the Royston mining district in Nevada, known for turquoise in distinctive shades of green and blue with dramatic natural matrix
-
Naturally one of a kind — the stone’s color, matrix, shape, and surface character are entirely its own
The Craft
The brass was formed, forged, and textured by hand to complement the natural contours of the turquoise. Rather than imposing symmetry on the stone, the setting responds to its individual shape, creating an elemental artifact that feels substantial, sculptural, and deeply connected to the earth.
The structured brass collar creates a confident silhouette while allowing the pendant to remain the focal point. Designed to be worn rather than simply admired, it brings a sense of the high desert to even the simplest clothing.
The Elemental Necklace is part of an evolving series built around raw Royston turquoise and hand-worked brass. Future pieces may share this sculptural silhouette and composition, but the natural shape, color, and matrix of each stone ensure that every necklace has its own character.
Inspired by the land. Refined by hand.
Care
Natural metals may oxidize and deepen in color over time. This evolving patina is part of their character; if you prefer a brighter finish, gently polish the exposed metal with a soft jewelry cloth, avoiding stones and intentionally darkened areas.
