It\'s NEVER TOO EARLY to shop for Christmas!!!

I know it is long but PLEASE READ ALL of the description

In the mid to late 1970\'s my wife and I made

and sold handcrafted jewelry at arts and crafts shows around the East Coast.

We have been cleaning out boxes of \"STUFF\"

we have not looked at for 30 or more years

and came across a couple of boxes of our jewelry.

It is time to let someone enjoy it.

I made this necklace for my wife and she wore it proudly,

it is one of my favorites and is truly a \"One of a Kind\"

This necklace is 3 STRANDS of Mixed SHELL Heishi

with some Red Coral and Turquoise Heishi pieces mixed in

A total of 59beautiful CARVED FETISHES

some BLUE TURQUOISE birds, Bears made of MOP,

Mellon Shell, buffalo horn +pink lip shell

a couple of MOP rabbits

and of course many carved birds of various shell

The longest strand is about 32\" and they go down about an inch or so for next 2 strands

includesa pair ofMatching Bird Earrings

It is strung on coated wire with a silver barrelclasp

and silver Cones on the end of Heishi

in the style we used in the 1970\'s

Clasp and cones are tarnished because of age but is fully functional.

I have not tried to clean or polish it as I didn\'t want to ruin the patina.

It is probably 40+ years old.

We do have more pieces and will be listing them at a later date, IF you are interested email me through
