Product Details

Striking vintage handcrafted seed-bead necklace featuring exceptionally detailed geometric beadwork in golden yellow, deep red and opaque white glass seed beads with subtle green accents. This substantial statement piece features two long intricately woven geometric panels leading into an impressive wide central panel, connected by multiple individually strung rows of coordinating seed beads. Repeating diamond and stepped geometric motifs create a dramatic symmetrical design. Finished with an unusual vintage metal hook-style closure and decorative fan-shaped bead-end findings. Beautiful example of traditional-style beadwork with an incredible amount of handwork and detail. Unmarked; exact maker, tribal affiliation and origin unknown. I am not attributing this piece to a particular Indigenous nation without provenance. Vintage condition with age-related wear to the threads/fibers near the clasp; please see photographs.
