A Native American heishi necklace with American turquoise.

American turquoise, Shell and Pipestone.

One of the oldest jewellery-making traditions in the American Southwest, heishi predates metalworking, with specimens found at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde dating back thousands of years, originating from the Kewa Pueblo of New Mexico.

Sourced directly from Native American artists on the reservations of New Mexico and Arizona, handmade using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Length: 66.3cm.
