Turquoise, close to the throat, with a gold star to fasten it.
Fourteen inches is a deliberate choice. This strand of turquoise beads sits high — right at the base of the neck — where the color lands against skin instead of disappearing into a neckline. It's the length that makes turquoise look modern rather than folksy.
The clasp is the second surprise: a gold star rather than the usual functional hardware. Worn at the back it's a small secret; worn turned round to the front it becomes part of the design, which is exactly how a good clasp should work.

Where 14 Inches Sits
Fourteen inches is choker length. On most adults it rests snugly at the base of the throat, above the collarbone. It's worth knowing before you order: if you prefer a necklace that drapes rather than sits close, or if you have a larger neck measurement, 14 inches will feel short. If you like a high, clean line above a scoop or boat neck, it's perfect.
How to Style It
Wear it solo against a plain black or white top and let the turquoise be the only color in the outfit. It's also the ideal top layer in a stack — put it at the throat and hang an 18-inch or 24-inch chain below for a graduated, boho-leaning look. Turquoise reads beautifully with tan, cream, white, denim and every shade of brown.
Materials & Care
Turquoise is porous and reacts badly to chemicals — perfume, hairspray, lotion, chlorine and salt water can all dull the color permanently. Put it on last, take it off first, and store it flat, on its own, away from harder stones. A soft dry cloth is all it needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 14 inches short?
Yes — it's a choker length that sits at the base of the throat rather than draping. Measure a favorite necklace before ordering if you're unsure.
Can the star clasp be worn at the front?
Absolutely. It's designed to look good either way.
How do I keep the turquoise bright?
Keep it away from perfume, chlorine and lotion, and store it separately. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
