Description
This is a natural acoma jet heish multi- strand necklace. It is a 10 multi-strand necklace. Wrapped with sinew and stamped by artist in natural leather that will tan over time and look great. Sinew is earthy and traditional. However, we also have a larger 3mm jet heishi finished off with sterling.
Native American Navajo and Pueblo tribes of New Mexico were using regionally mined jet for jewellery and the ornamentation of weapons when early Spanish explorers reached the area in the 1500s. Today these jet deposits are known as Acoma jet, for the Acoma Pueblo.
