Vintage Turquoise and Silver-tone Beaded Necklace

Vintage, possibly Native American-style, multi-strand necklace. It features a combination of turquoise-colored beads, metallic beads, and a pendant-like element made of several shell pieces arranged in a fan shape. The necklace has a layered appearance due to its multi-strand design, with the shell pieces adding a distinct focal point at the bottom center. The silver/tone beads are likely silver plated brass and copper as you can see these tones coming through. Such necklaces are often associated with Southwestern or bohemian styles. Multi-strand necklaces with turquoise and other natural materials were popular in the 1970s and continue to be sought after for their unique aesthetic. Shortest strand is about 21”
