This vibrant Southwestern necklace features a colorful mosaic inlay pendant paired with multi‑strand beads in warm reds, cool blues, and natural shell. The pendant is crafted in a Zuni‑style figural motif using a thin mother‑of‑pearl veneer backed with acrylic, with additional inlay of dyed turquoise‑colored stone (likely howlite), brass accents, black resin strips, and painted red and black details. The necklace strands include real white shell heishi, turquoise-color dyed howlite beads, and red jasper nuggets, finished with stamped silver‑tone plated base‑metal spacers. The materials have been examined under magnification and basic gemological testing for accuracy. This piece reflects the lively aesthetic of late‑20th‑century Southwest commercial jewelry—colorful, expressive, and full of character. A beautiful statement necklace for anyone who loves mosaic work and bold Southwestern style.
Length: approx 24 inches.
