Pre-mid-century vintage Navajo heishi choker necklace featuring traditional dark shell heishi beads accented with genuine red coral branches. The original turquoise center heishi has worn over time. According to the previous owner, after wearing the necklace for many years, natural skin acids gradually wore away the turquoise. The necklace may be enjoyed as-is for its history and authenticity, or the center beads can be replaced with a favorite pendant while preserving the original necklace. A highly collectible example of early Navajo craftsmanship with beautiful patina and authentic character. Length: 17 in choker Weight: 30.50 g
