I found this piece and swooned over the size of the vintage veined turquoise and the old hand-formed silver.

It was described to be “Very early Native American with handmade sterling beads and large fine turquoise nuggets.”

It is difficult to find this style of necklace, of this age, of this quality, and that you can regularly wear with confidence.

The turquoise feels smooth yet raw. It has that saturated beautiful blue that we love in turquoise, but is veined to give it an earthy coloring.

It has a good weight when worn and is flexible to find how it wants to naturally rest.
