Description

The listing, Polished Salmon Stone Necklace Vintage Arizona (three alligators?) has ended.

I can't make out what kind of animals these are, but they look a little like alligators or lizards. They are polished natural gemstones in a brilliant pink/salmon color. We have some rhodonite mines in the Bradshaw Mountains that might have produced this, but I can't be certain if the stones are rhodonite. The necklace is approximately 21" in circumference, with a silvertone chain and barrel clasp. Very vintage.

My mother used to frequent trading posts and flea markets in Northern Arizona. She indulged her passion for Native American and other treasures, jewelry and curiosities. All of her pieces are 50s-70s. I'm continuing to clean out boxes from my garage, whenever I get the energy, and finding some lovely things of hers. I'm not sure exactly where she picked this one up but it was nice enough to keep throughout the decades since.

Shipping is free through first class mail, securely wrapped and sent in a Tyvek mailer, to any part of the U.S. I ship the next day after receiving your verified address unless a weekend or holiday. Listia rules for address apply. Thank you for viewing my listing.

Fanning. I want to start a collection of authentic Native American jewelry. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of what you have! I really love "needlepoint" settings, and cuffs with lots of soldered sterling silver work in them and/or carving!

Than you, Giftbearer, I will fan back. I used to have silver; I sold one silver bracelet from the 40s for $100 on ebay a few months ago to a lady in Hawaii. My mother didn't have a lot of money so she didn't usually get expensive things. But she sure did indulge her passion for beads and small trinkets. Of course, some of those "small" trinkets from the 40s, 50s and 60s are big ticket items now, and some aren't. It's funny how that goes. Thanks again!
