A gorgeous vintage fetish necklace featuring hand-carved Mother of Pearl hummingbirds interspersed with Turquoise heishi beads. This piece showcases the traditional Southwestern art of fetish carving, where each hummingbird carries symbolic meaning and spiritual significance in Native American culture.

Design Details:
This charming necklace features a delightful collection of hand-carved hummingbird fetishes, each expertly carved from Mother of Pearl. The fetishes are beautifully spaced along a strand of uniform turquoise heishi beads —a testament to careful stone selection and expert craftsmanship.

Each hummingbird is carved with attention to detail, capturing the essence and character of these creatures that hold special meaning in Southwestern traditions.
