Southwest
1920s
Sterling silver, turquoise, and coral
Necklace length 20 inches (51 cm), pendant 2 inches (5 cm)
86.21 grams
Provenance: Private collection, Cave Creek, AZ
A strand of hand cut disc beads, blue turquoise webbed with black and brown matrix interspersed with shorter beads of orange red coral and small silver discs, graduating from smaller beads at the back to larger through the front. The beads are cut and drilled by hand, uneven in thickness and diameter, so the strand sits with a soft irregular rhythm rather than a machined one. A silver pendant hangs at the center, built as a rosette of six oval coral cabochons in serrated bezels around a teardrop turquoise, with small silver beads set between the petals. At 86.21 grams, with the strand at 20 inches (51 cm) and the pendant 2 inches (5 cm), it is a substantial necklace made for wear.
