Necklace, Bib, Turquoise, Hallmark, Vintage ‘70s, 1924

ALLURING ELEGANCE

We love pieces that give an alluring elegant look, which is what you get with this vintage Zuni sterling silver necklace created by Nancy Haloo. This elegant necklace features rows of turquoise stones detailed with twisted wire. Each row leads down the neckline into a floral cluster of matching turquoise with sterling silver paddle accents. The clusters are suspended from an open-link sterling silver chain with a hook-and-eye closure. A lovely piece that anyone would want to have in their collection.

Nancy Haloo (Zuni). Active since 1970s. Inlay work; bird motifs. Married Ruddell Laconsello in 1976. Sister of Rolanda and Dolly Haloo.
