    Description

    This comes from my personal collection. I've collected Southwestern jewelry since the 1970's.
    Beautiful seafoam turquoise nuggets
    combine with authentic handmade heishi to become this old traditional necklace.  The heishi, although smooth and of uniform
    consistency, will have variations among the beads. There will be a variation in color and thickness or there might be a slight
    imperfection in the shell or bead. This adds to its unique appearance.
    This necklace is 25" long and has been restrung on covered
    wire (which is very flexible)  and finished off with sterling cones and hook and eye.  I have polished the sterling with a soft
    polishing cloth.  The cones still show signs of age and I have not seen this design on any other cone I've come across.  I'm
    wondering if I could identify the maker if I could identify the design on the cone.  I suspect this necklace is from the 1950's or 1960's.
    Never out of style, Southwest jewelry is an investment in enjoyment to last a lifetime.
    Larger stones measures 17 mm  x  12 mm  x  8 mm thick
    Graduates down to 9 mm  x  8 mm  x  4 mm
    Heishi measures 2 mm  round
    Total Weight = 72 grams
