Turquoise, Shell Heishi + Sterling Silver Southwestern Necklace – 30"

Thirty inches of dark shell, pale heishi, bright turquoise, and sterling silver. Substantial, relaxed, and easy enough to throw on with almost anything.

Long enough to make a statement. Easy enough to wear with almost anything.

Dating to approximately the late 1970s or early 1980s, this substantial 30-inch necklace moves between deep brown-black shell, pale heishi, bright turquoise, and the cool shine of sterling silver. The center turquoise-and-silver drop has the relaxed, fashion-forward feel of the era, when Southwestern jewelry moved easily into the broader California and bohemian style vocabulary.

The result is substantial but relaxed. The kind of piece that finishes the look without trying too hard.
