Cartografia | Collected Turquoise, Vermeil & Sterling Silver Necklace
A collection of places, memories, and moments, brought together in one creation.
Cartografia is a deeply personal necklace, composed of turquoise beads collected over many years from different corners of the world, including Iran, Morocco, Afghanistan, and the American Southwest.
Each stone carries its own character: vivid blue-green hues, soft sea-glass tones, earthy inclusions, and distinctive natural-looking matrix patterns. Their varied shapes and finishes create a composition that celebrates individuality rather than uniformity.
Warm gold vermeil accents meet sterling silver discs and shimmering hematite spacers, bringing a subtle contrast to the richness of the turquoise. Completing the piece is an ornate sterling silver clasp with a floral motif, a component dating to 2010 and preserved for a creation worthy of its detail.
More than a necklace, Cartografia is a wearable record of places encountered and memories collected.
