I ordered a couple of these, intending them as gifts for a couple of young girls in my extended family. However, this necklace consists of beads strung on wire. I'm concerned that is a safety issue. If the necklace gets caught on something, I would want it to break open instead of possibly injuring the child wearing it.

Edited to add: I should have looked more closely at the product details on this listing. It says "Stone Creation Method" is "Synthetic." I think this means these beads were created from turquoise dust using some kind of bonding agent.

Anyway, the necklace is nothing great to look at, and I'm sorry I bought even one of them.
