Necklace, Bib, Turquoise, Needlepoint, Hallmark, Vintage ‘70s, 3723

EYE-CATCHING AND EXQUISITE.

Crafted by renowned Zuni artisan Elanda Wyaco, this stunning bib necklace is a three-segment band of sterling silver, chock-full of small robin’s-egg turquoise stones. The center segment is also adorned with a series of sterling silver dangles. The uniformity of the shade and shape of the stones is eye-catching, and the craftsmanship is nothing short of impressive. A timeless Southwestern statement piece you’ll cherish for decades to come.
