Pueblo Cross Necklace with Russian, Faceted, Cobalt Glass Beads
Pueblo
Circa 1940 | Silver, Glass Beads | Item 2053
This charming and colorful Pueblo cross necklace has 8 small silver crosses and one large, dragon fly style cross ending with a heart. The whole assembly is strung onto a hemp cord string. The crosses are spaced on either side with large, pony beads then followed by small, Russian, faceted cobalt glass beads. The very top has shell like, white beads that I believe are glass and not shell. There is no clasp, the twine is tied into a knot at the top.
