Native American Jewelry Coral Necklace C4563 - Adobe Gallery, Santa Fe

By A Mystery Man Writer

This red coral and turquoise jacla necklace is very original. Left in a wonderfully raw form, the red coral beads have been crafted and strung in increasing size from the ties of the necklace. Red coral is difficult to procure and has always been considered a sign of wealth for the tribes of the Southwest. Often highly processed, these beads stand in their original glory— rough at the edges and only shaped to form beads but otherwise, untouched. It gives the necklace a special feel, and one may feel both at ease and very much decorated while wearing it.
