Sleeping Beauty Swirls Necklace

Delicate in scale yet strong in design, this sterling silver necklace was created by Sam Patania. Its repeating scroll motif recalls the graceful lines of wrought iron architecture, creating an elegant rhythm across the necklace while giving the piece a sense of structure and enduring strength.
 
Five Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones add vivid blue color and a distinctly Southwestern character. Once mined in Globe, Arizona, the Sleeping Beauty Mine closed more than 15 years ago, and this turquoise is no longer being brought out of the ground. As a result, each piece made with Sleeping Beauty turquoise has become increasingly rare and significant—not only as a treasured gemstone, but as part of the cultural history and continuing story surrounding turquoise.
 
Sam Patania’s design balances the delicate beauty of the stones with the durability of hand-wrought sterling silver. The repeating scrollwork feels architectural without becoming heavy, allowing the necklace to rest gracefully against the neckline while retaining a lasting presence.
 
Timeless in style and made to endure, this is a necklace to wear, cherish, and pass down through generations. Its refined silhouette, rare turquoise, and distinctive craftsmanship reflect Sam Patania’s enduring commitment to Southwestern jewelry tradition.
