Vintage Pawn Turquoise & Shell Necklace

Vintage Pawn Turquoise & Shell Necklace

This authentic vintage pawn necklace reflects traditional Southwestern jewelry made for personal wear and commonly pawned at regional trading posts. The piece features graduated natural turquoise beads in soft blue-green tones, displaying natural matrix and variation that speak to genuine, early material.

Near the neckline, the turquoise is accented with shell heishi beads, adding texture and contrast. The necklace is traditionally strung and finished with silver barrel beads and fittings, along with a leather thong closure, consistent with pawn jewelry construction. The materials show a natural patina and wear appropriate for its age.
