Necklace, Mummy's Bundle, Choker, Dentalium Shell, Sterling Silver, Hallmark, Vintage, 3727

FABULOUS HIGH-END FASHION FIND

If you’re fairly well-versed in Southwestern jewelry, the legendary label needs no introduction. It’s long been known for its striking statement pieces (particularly chokers) crafted from and inspired by the archaeological digs of Doug Hancock, interpreted into wearable works of art and marketed by his wife, Mary, for decades. This alluring vintage necklace is a wide choker crafted from several strands of dentalium shell strung with wood bead spacers and finished with a focal point of bold feather dangles. A piece that any true collector would love to have in their own personal jewelry box.
