J274 Turquoise and Heishe Beads
Turquoise nugget and white shell (heishe) beads with spiney oyster accent beads. The 30” necklace has a 5” turquoise and shell jacla.
A traditional Pueblo jewelry adornment, a jacla is two loops of heishi that were originally earrings and sometimes fastened to the bottom of a stone necklace as a pendant-like attachment. The two loops would be removed from the necklace and used as earrings. This is how the jacla originated.
