Ten continuous strands of hand-selected natural turquoise — alternating rows of polished turquoise heishi tube beads and organic freeform turquoise nugget chips — are layered into a wide, flat collar of extraordinary density and visual richness. The interplay between the smooth, uniform heishi cylinders and the irregular, tactile nugget chips creates a woven textile quality that is uniquely Santo Domingo in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turquoise throughout is a soft, even robin’s egg blue with subtle natural matrix variation — consistent, well-matched, and selected with the discerning eye of an experienced Santo Domingo beadworker. The sheer volume of stone — thousands of individual beads across ten strands — gives this necklace a presence and weight that is immediately commanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ten strands are gathered into \u003cstrong\u003esterling silver cone end caps\u003c\/strong\u003e with hand-wrapped wire coil collars, the cones tapering to a clean point that transitions elegantly to a \u003cstrong\u003esterling silver elongated oval link extender chain\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the necklace to be worn at any length from 22 to 30 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra\u003c\/strong\u003e: Circa mid-to-late 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTribe\u003c\/strong\u003e: Santo Domingo Pueblo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-Strand Turquoise Heishi \u0026amp; Nugget Collar Necklace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural turquoise heishi tube beads, natural turquoise nugget chips, sterling silver cone end caps, sterling silver adjustable extender chain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrands\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: Adjustable 22\"–30\" via extender chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 76.3 grms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Excellent vintage condition; strands intact, end caps secure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind estate piece.
