Offered here today is a vintage turquoise and Heishi necklace with Joclas. This striking necklace features numerous turquoise nugget style beads accented with shell Heishi beads in between. At the bottom of the necklace hang two Joclas crafted with turquoise disk beads and accented with shell and coral beads. The necklace and Joclas are both strung on waxed cord and a Pueblo wrap at the ends completes the piece. Jocla is the Navajo word for "ear string". The Navajo and Pueblo natives would often wear all their jewelry for safekeeping. Their extra “ear strings” or earrings, were often tied to the bottom of their necklaces. Later, this evolved into a popular necklace style. This necklace would be a great addition to any collection. Bid now!
