Navajo Pearl and Pink Conch Shell Necklace, 16", Turquoise Mustang

Turquoise Mustang designed this 16-inch necklace combining 6mm and 8mm Navajo-style sterling silver pearls with 6mm pink conch shell beads. Pink conch shell (Strombus gigas) has been traded across the American Southwest and used in Native American jewelry for over a thousand years — it was among the most valued materials in pre-Columbian Pueblo trade networks. The combination of sterling pearls and pink conch creates a warm, layered palette characteristic of contemporary Southwest jewelry. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
