Vintage Four Strand Kewa Necklace of Green Turquoise Nuggets

If you're looking for that elusive shade of perfectly green turquoise, this vintage necklace from Kewa or Santo Domingo Pueblo just might be calling to you.

The necklace has four strands of little green turquoise nuggets - each left in their own organic shape. Interspersed between the nuggets are the teeniest white clam shell heishi beads which give the green turquoise color a huge pop. 

The necklace is strung on waxed string that's knotted at the ends and lightly burned to keep the knots secure. The turquoise is real and it's been stabilized, so you don't have to worry about it breaking if it gets knocked around.

If you've got a pair of joclas, you can hang these from the necklace for that extra wow-factor. You can also attach pendants to the necklace if they have a shepherd's hook, or you can untie the knot in the necklace if you have a pendant with a very large bale. You certainly don't need any extra accents for this necklace, though. It makes a lovely green adornment as is.

From a large collection of both contemporary and vintage Native American jewelry that's located back East.

Necklace hangs a long and luscious length of 17.5"
