Description :
This is a beautiful four-piece lot of vintage Native American-style jewelry. The collection includes a multi-strand fetish necklace, a turquoise and silver bracelet, a single-strand shell necklace, and a pair of shell earrings. Zuni-Style Multi-Strand Bird Fetish Necklace: This intricate necklace features multiple strands of hand-carved shell bird fetishes and heishi beads. The birds are likely carved from mother-of-pearl or other types of shell. Fetish necklaces are a traditional form of art for the Zuni people, and bird carvings often symbolize lightness and freedom. The necklace is finished with a hook-and-eye clasp. Beaded Turquoise and Silver Bracelet: The bracelet is composed of polished turquoise nuggets or beads spaced with what appears to be silver beads and secured with a clasp. This style is common in Southwestern Native American jewelry, often associated with Navajo or Zuni craftsmanship. Shell Earrings: A pair of earrings are included, featuring what appear to be natural, unpolished shells with a hint of blue turquoise accent. Heishi or Puka Shell Necklace: This simple, elegant necklace is a single strand of small, white shell beads. This style is commonly referred to as a heishi or puka shell necklace and was very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The beads are hand-drilled and strung to create a smooth, clean look.
