Vintage Natural Green Fox Turquoise Nugget Heishi Native American Necklace

This is a listing for a vintage Native American turquoise necklace. It's new old stock, so in unused condition. It's strung with natural turquoise nuggets from the Fox mine. This mine produces many shades of blue and green turquoise, both in solid colors as well as blended. The nuggets in this piece are a rich medium dark green with the characteristic fox turquoise scattered light brown matrix. The artist chose hand ground natural fox turquoise heishi beads to use as spacers. The necklace finishes with several inches of these beautiful heishi beads which have a warm soft polish. A sterling bench made bead, cones and hook and eye clasp finish the piece. The turquoise heishi would have been ground by a Santo Domingo artist and the 2 silver bench made accent beads would have been Navajo made and either tribe could have strung these beads. I was happy to find 2 of these wonderful vintage necklaces and will be listing both.

This piece is strung on flexible bead wire with a fluid drape. This is a nice piece for the person who does not want large heavy beads. The nuggets average in size from approximately 10mm to 15mm in length. The heishi spacers are about 6mm across and the 2 and 7/8th inches of heishi that finish the necklace on each side measure 4mm across. The total length of the necklace is 28 inches and it weighs a very respectable 59 grams.
