Vintage Choker Necklace Sterling, Turquoise Nuggets & Shell Beads

Vintage Native American Handmade Choker Necklace with nuggets of beautifully veined Kingman turquoise paired with natural shell discs and Sterling Silver melon beads & pearls.

The Santo Domingo way of jewelry making lies in its honorable tradition of using each and every piece of a gemstone, rock or coral sustainably....nothing goes to waste. Nice vintage condition with patina consistent of a piece of its nature and time.
