Description
This necklace reflects my enduring love of the Native American jewellery of the Southwest USA and references it without indulging in straight-out copying.

The necklace features stunning 18mm rondelles of red Spiny Oyster shell from the Sea of Cortez, or Gulf of California, Mexico, which have been inlaid with chips of turquoise. I have combined these with three special vintage Balinese silver beads that have twisted rope detailing and then matched them with a modern Balinese toggle clasp, also with rope detailing. To provide an extra pop of colour and shine, the piece is accented with smooth rondelles of bright greenish blue turquoise from the famous Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona capped with sterling silver. I find this combination of colours so cheery that I always feel light-hearted looking at them. I hope you do too.

PACKING & SHIPPING
The necklace will come packed in it’s own storage bag, as shown, for safe-keeping, and gift-wrapped for instant gift-giving. Because the gemstones and other components used in my jewellery can be fragile and easily damaged if mistreated, all pieces are carefully packed for domestic and international shipping using recycled packing materials and boxes made by us from recycled materials.
I ship almost all of my packages with Australia Post using Parcel Post within Australia and Standard International shipping for international orders. Both come with tracking and SMS notifications, while Express Post and extra cover insurance can be added if requested. I combine shipping and will refund any excess shipping costs.
