Jay King Reversible Turquoise and Pink Thulite 18" Necklace

Both the Thulite and the Chilean turquoise hold their own in this necklace. The turquoise stones in my necklace are vibrant blue and matrix-free. The turquoise looks so good, that I actually rechecked specifications to ensure these are not dyed or composite stones. Per website details these stones are not composite and are stabilized without dye, which makes the turquoise coloring all the more remarkable. On the Thulite side, all stones were very vibrant in their color and had no white streaking at all. I have one stone that is noticeably darker than the others, but not enough to take away from the design. The silver work of this necklace makes the piece look surprisingly modern which I personally loved. The necklace and the drop Thulite/turquoise linear earrings look great together.

I was so looking forward to receiving this necklace especially with the Thulite from Norway, very intriguing. It arrived and disappointed to see the very last pink thulite cabachon was washed out! It would have been perfect just for that mismatched stone. I wanted to exchange but no more in stock and no waitlist.

I should have listened to a few of the reviewers and not bought this. It came broken because the links are so tiny and not made well at all. If it had not come broken to me Im pretty sure it would have eventually broke anyway. Also the thulite was disappointing because mine had two dark pink and the rest were light pink and it bugged me. It was also smaller than I expected in size and the price is to high to have so many problems. This one needs to be redesigned big time!

This necklace has lovely stones -- BUT the links connecting them are very tiny and poorly made. I first received the necklace with the "pendant" stones detached. I could see there was a design flaw but thought I would take a chance and get a replacement because the stones were so pretty and I love the matching bracelet, which is very well made. The second necklace also arrived broken -- same problem with the links thought in a different place on the necklace. I have many Jay King pieces and am shocked at the poor quality of this necklace, especially for the cost. I have never had this problem before with his necklaces. Needless to say I returned both. Jay called this an "investment piece." I would expect a little more quality for my investment. Please don't connect heavy stones with tiny, cheap links.
