Melon Shell Necklace with Mosaic Inlay Pendant
Product Information
An exquisite and very cheerful melon shell bead and mosaic inlay necklace designed and hand crafted by the stellar Kewa Pueblo artist Charlene Reano. The necklace glistens with a natural lustre complimented by the shapes and contrasting colour palette chosen by the artist.The design consists of 143 beautiful torus shaped melon shell beads, in various shades of orange and cream and 1 signature natural turquoise torus bead in the left hand string. In the right hand string is a mosaic inlay cuboid of natural turquoise and black lip oyster shell. Both bead strings are accented with 8 tiny cylindrical olive shell heishi beads, either side of the pendant. The triangular mosaic inlay pendant is laid out with natural turquoise rectangles and a lovely rectangular splash of melon shell. A stunning feature is the way the edges and corners are rounded, to give a smooth, clean finish to the piece. The fine bail of the pendant is fixed to the back, which means that it sits at a slight angle on the wearer. The reverse side is of highly polished oyster shell and the clasp is sterling silver. The contemporary design and delightful fusion of colours, makes this clean and happy necklace a must for any jewellery box.
