Zuni Native American Fetish Strand Bead Mother of Pearl & MultiGemstone Necklace

This single-strand necklace combines the classic look of Southwestern heishi beads with an assortment of colorful gemstone and shell accents, centering around a carved leaf pendant in a soft pink hue mother-of-pearl. Key features include: Heishi-Style Spacers: Strung in between the focal beads are thin, disc-like brown shell heishi beads, giving the necklace its traditional Southwestern style and texture. Focal Leaf Pendant: At the bottom center hangs a carved pink leaf, showing delicate vein detailing. Two small red beads sit just above the leaf, adding a pop of color and drawing the eye to the pendant. - **Multicolored Gemstone & Shell Beads:** Scattered along the strand are beads of various shapes and materials—turquoise nuggets, possibly spiny oyster shell or dyed shell in shades of orange and red, and a larger off-white cylindrical bead that could be bone or carved stone. There are also occasional white or translucent disks, likely mother-of-pearl or shell slices. Southwestern/Zuni-Style Influence: Often called a “fetish” strand in reference to Zuni necklace traditions, this piece has a distinctly Southwestern flair, though its primary motif here is the carved leaf rather than multiple animal carvings. Overall Aesthetic: Earthy and vibrant, the mix of natural stones, shell, and carved elements creates a warm, handcrafted look emblematic of Native American–inspired design.
