Here is a beautiful and rare example of a Navajo (possibly Pueblo), green, turquoise tab necklace. This one is short, so might be called a choker. I have a 14″ diameter neck, and the necklace hangs about 1 inch away from the neck in the front.
This is a beautiful necklace with good age to it. The spiny oyster shell appears very old, with the turquoise mosaic overlay a later addition.
