Soft violet heishi carries this piece with a steady, flowing line, while natural turquoise cuts through with raw, organic shapes and deeper earth-toned matrix. The contrast feels alive — smooth against rugged, soft against grounded — giving the necklace a quiet kind of movement.

What stands out in Darlene’s work here is her restraint. She lets the turquoise stay irregular and unrefined, rather than forcing uniformity, which keeps the piece feeling natural and honest. The violet holds everything together without competing, allowing each stone to show its own character.

This is the kind of necklace that adds interest without needing anything else. It gives you texture, color, and depth in one piece — something you can throw on and instantly feel more put together, without it ever feeling overdone.

Meet The Artist

Meet Darlene... Navajo Jewelry Artist

Darlene Huskie is a Navajo jewelry artist with nearly three decades of experience creating hand-strung turquoise necklaces and traditional Diné adornment. Taught within her husband’s family, she carries forward a lineage of beadwork that blends patience, precision, and cultural memory.

Working with turquoise, sterling silver, shell, and glass beads, Darlene carefully selects and arranges each element by hand, allowing color, balance, and natural beauty to guide every design. Her pieces are not mass-produced — each necklace is individually made, reflecting the quiet skill and steady hands of an artist who has spent a lifetime perfecting her craft.

Darlene is of the Nakai Diné Clan, and her work reflects the enduring Navajo tradition of jewelry as both personal adornment and cultural expression.

Authentic Turquoise

With only 5 active turquoise mines left in the U.S.—led by the iconic Kingman Mine—much of today’s turquoise comes from past sources. Check the map… your piece may be rarer than you think.
