Beautiful Vintage 3 Strand Carved Fetish Necklace. There are 39 fetishes in all, including the large Copper Turquoise Sunface at the bottom! They are in a variety of gemstones. Including Copper Turquoise, Jet, Lapis, Malachite, Coral, Gaspeite, Howlite, Carnelian, Sodalite, Jasper & Spiny Oyster Shell. Heishi and Turquoise beads are strung between all the fetishes.

If you like hummingbirds, horses/ donkeys or bears, than you will love this necklace! As there are many of them, in different types of carvings, and different gemstones. I love the Jasper Bear and the Lapis Turtle that both have Turquoise eyes! There is also a beautiful collection of Turquoise fetishes. Including a Buffalo with nice detail! All of the fetishes are two sided, and can be turned to face either direction.

This necklace is three strand. The top strand of the necklace measures approximately 26 inches long. The bottom strand, from the hook to bottom of Sunface measures approximately 16 inches. Which gives it an overall length of approximately 32 inches long. (Please see photos with measuring tape, to better understand what I’m referring to). The silver is 925 Sterling Silver. This Necklace is BIG and BEAUTIFUL! I looked over each fetish on the necklace, and I do not see anything broken. So it appears to be in great condition.

Turquoise comes in shades of blue, green, and even white. Some pieces will be a solid color. While others will have matrix that range from white, brown, black, and even gold. Please allow for this naturally occurring color variations, and matrix, in some pieces.

Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of protection. Strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, and healing to the eyes. As if carved from a Azure heaven and slipped to earth.

A little about myself: I am part Shoshone, on my Dads side. I currently reside in Virginia. However, I moved here from New Mexico. I am influenced both by my love for the Shoshone people, as well as the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni people that reside in New Mexico. I used to own a Native American trading post. As well as set up a jewelry and dream catcher booth at large festivals and events in my area. When Covid hit I decided it was time to start selling on different online platforms instead. I do miss the interaction with customers though. So if you have any questions please feel free to ask. And be sure to check out my other jewelry listings. Thank you! :)
