Cosmic Black Jet & Turquoise Heishi Necklace

Description

I call this my cosmic necklace as it represents for me – black jet heishi which equals the black night sky with the peppered blue turquoise throughout the necklace represented by stars in the night sky. This is 4mm heishi 20” long great for a man or woman. High quality heishi strung on stainless steel nylon coated beading string as strong as steel but flexible. However, not advised to sleep or shower with.

“The meaning of heishi beads goes beyond their physical beauty. Traditionally, they hold spiritual significance for the Native American communities that create them. The heishi beads’ spiritual meaning is often associated with protection, healing, and connection to nature. The beads are believed to carry the energies of the materials from which they are made—whether it’s the calming properties of the turquoise stone or the grounding energy of shell.
The origin of heishi beads can be traced back over a thousand years, making them one of the earliest forms of jewelry in the Southwest. Initially, these beads were created from natural materials readily available in the region, such as shells gathered from ancient sea beds or stones collected from nearby quarries. Over time, the art of making heishi beads evolved, but the traditional techniques and cultural significance remain deeply embedded in the practice.”
