Santo Domingo Kingman Turquoise, Heishi & Sterling Silver Necklace

Kingman Turquoise Necklace
with sterling silver findings

Created and Signed by Santo Domingo Pueblo
Silversmith and Jewelry Artist Marvin Lovato

Item# J4ML
DETAILS: This 22" necklace is made with graduated 10-25mm green Kingman Turquoise and 4 mm Philippine Olive Heishi. It is nicely finished off with 1" Sterling Silver necklace cones and Sterling Silver hook and eye closure. The ancestors used to wear necklaces just like this without the Sterling Silver. They would tie around their neck using a string. Today, during the festivities and dances at the pueblo, the women still wear traditional necklaces like this with a tie-on closure. This tradition will carry forward in the next generations. Today, we have eye-pleasing (not to mention convenient) Sterling Silver necklace cones and hook and eye closure.

Do you see that bead that looks like a bird...? or is it just me? I love this necklace! It looks great when worn with a similar style only a bit longer. Stunning in fact!!
