The Tundra Sweep necklace was created in collaboration with our friends at Heath Ceramics, as part of their seasonal collection. It will be available to purchase on October 1, 2026.
If you’d like to reserve a Tundra Sweep before the collection launches, please reach out through our contact page or at hello@juliaturner.com
The Tundra Sweep necklace captures the unexpectedly vibrant hues of the Arctic Tundra, emerging from icy crags: teal glacial waters, crimson carpets of bearberry, and the shifting wheat yellows and greens of grasslands dancing in frigid winds.
Our beaded Sweep necklaces are composed of hundreds of tiny Japanese glass Miyuki Delica beads, hand-strung on flexible steel cable for a fluid, graceful drape. An oxidized silver magnetic clasp, made by hand in our studio, allows each 8-foot necklace to be wrapped and worn at multiple lengths: as a multi-strand choker, a triple layer mingling with other favorite pieces, or simply doubled in a long, sweeping line.
