CO232 thin heishi beads Harpo necklace

Beautiful Pueblo Kewa necklace, made with super fine Heishi beads in Kingman turquoise (Arizona) and sterling silver.

The natural turquoise and the sterling silver Heishi beads of this necklace are amazingly thin and light. Never before have we seen such precision craft, for such an elegant and subtle finish. The small silver beads enhance this beautiful sky-blue turquoise, creating a necklace of great beauty.

Heishi beads are tubular beads that require a long and meticulous process: the raw turquoise is first cut into numerous small pieces, which are then pierced and strung on a wire. The artist then grinds this strand on a grinding wheel to form the Heishi beads. The quality of genuine Heishi beads can be recognized by their uniformity and smoothness to the touch.
