This beautiful vintage Native-made statement necklace features striking turquoise heishi (likely Kingman) that graduate smoothly in size from 5mm to an impressive 18mm, creating a bold and balanced presentation. The centerpiece showcases five turquoise tabs, each separated by tiny shell heishi that add movement, flexibility and traditional charm to the design. Sterling silver 5mm bench beads, tapered cones, and a classic hook and eye closure complete the necklace. Each cone is stamped STERLING at the base, indicating the manufacturer’s mark for the cones. With a total length of 23.75 inches, generously sized turquoise tabs, and a substantial weight of 171 grams, this piece is a gorgeous example of vintage Native-made artistry.
Condition Note: there is a chip which runs lengthwise along one of the turquoise heishi beads, the 11th from one end. In my opinion this is very minor, the integrity of the bead is not compromised and it is not noticeable when the necklace is worn unless the area is examined closely.
