Ancient Carnelian Bead Necklace by Hal and Margie Hiestand

$2,325.00 $0.00

Extraordinary Unique Necklace by Santa Fe Artists, Hal and Margie Hiestand. This incredible necklace is fashioned primarily from Ancient Carnelian Beads that are likely over 2000 years old. The necklace if further embellished with small turquoise beads and 14k gold findings at the back. The necklace is approximately 28 inches long and can be slipped over the head. The white on the beads is the  calcification that has taken place due to age. Ancient Carnelian beads like these were found in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and Egypt.  More on Ancient Carnelian Beads can be found here https://www.ancientbead.com/old_carnelian_beads.html 

In the pictures I included a picture of a bead next to An Ancient Indus double drum that was supposedly the inspiration for beads like this. (Source is the above link)
