BarseAthens Genuine Turquoise Y Necklace

Since 1986, Barse Jewelry has been creating handcrafted designs featuring genuine stones set in either solid bronze or silver plate over bronze. Designed in Dallas and manufactured in their Thailand factory, each piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Barse uses real stones sourced from miners around the world. Many stones are cut in their own factory by expert lapidaries, ensuring quality, color, and uniqueness in every piece. Their cast pieces are created using the traditional lost-wax casting method, allowing for rich detail and high-quality craftsmanship. Their beaded pieces are designed in Dallas and hand-crafted in Thailand. Every piece is assembled and finished by hand.Barse’s lustrous golden bronze is created using a proprietary copper-based alloy with a small amount of tin. The bronze material offers a warm luster comparable to 18k gold, but at a significantly lower cost. It is solid throughout and will not rub off. A rich patina may develop over time. Barse’s silver plate jewelry pairs the luminous beauty of fine silver with the strength of a solid bronze core. Each piece is finished in radiant silver (1 micron over bronze), offering the look and feel of a precious metal without the high cost of sterling silver. An Ecoat is applied to their bronze and silver plate for added protection. Clean with a polishing cloth or for deeper cleaning, use mild soap, water and a soft brush.
