Vintage Native American Southwestern Style Multi Strand Treasure Necklace

What a statement piece this treasure necklace is. The design draws heavily from traditional Navajo "treasure necklaces," which combine various hand-strung stones. In this case, different types of natural turquoise, natural coral, silver, and Heishi / Heishe shells are used. Treasure necklaces are distinctive multi-strand pieces and are particularly associated with the Santo Domingo Pueblo (Kewa) and Navajo tribes.

Gemstone: In Navajo culture, there is a saying that "A woman who possesses the 'four colors of stones,' which represent different natural materials, will never be in need."

312g and the longest strand is approximately 28" with a toggle clasp.
