Olive Shell and Turquoise Heishi Necklace
Product Information
A beautifully delicate 3 string heishi necklace of baby olive shell punctuated with beads of Kingman Arizona turquoise, designed and hand made by talented IACA award winning Kewa Pueblo artist Lorraine Cate. The tiny olive shell beads are of a lovely chocolate colouring, but with creamy tones of lighter brown through to beige. The contrast with the light blue Kingman turquoise is quite stunning. These petite beads even show some matrix marking here and there. This stellar necklace design showcases the ancient traditional techniques of Kewa heishi artists and produces a very serene American Indian vibe. The necklace has 2 small sterling silver cones, stamped with Sun symbols, as part of the clasp. The piece features Lorraine's signature solitaire bead, a gorgeous round bead of coral in this instance. The necklace is very light, sits beautifully, is comfortable and smooth textured. Fashionable jewellery that deserves to be worn and seen every day.
