Product Details

This necklace features two draped strands composed of dark, finely sliced heishi disc beads, traditionally crafted from materials like pen shell, olive shell, or pipestone. Gemstones: It is embellished with freeform turquoise nuggets placed along the strands to provide a vibrant pop of color against the dark discs. Origin: This aesthetic is characteristic of traditional Southwestern Indigenous jewelry art, most notably associated with the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo and Navajo silversmithing and lapidary traditions. However, I cannot confirm. Closure: The top features a traditional textile squaw wrap (or pueblo wrap) finish around the neckline. Length: 34inches Weight: 104 grams/3.65oz
