Mischievous Howling Coyote with Turquoise and Sterling

$85 USD Buy »

 
 
 
 

I love the howling coyote on this necklace . . . he just has so much character! He looks like he’s grinning, like the old trickster he is. The pendant is red jasper and I’ve paired it with green (rather than blue) turquoise on a twist on a classic Southwest color scheme. Sterling silver melon beads, red jasper lantern beads, and round fossil coral beads complete this long hand-knotted necklace. Including the Bali silver clasp, this necklace is about 25 inches long, and is strung on silk. The turquoise is Chinese and has been stabilized.

Disclosure: Please note that the display mannequin in the photo is about half-human scale; the necklace has been draped around the back of the mannequin to simulate how the necklace would hang. Please refer to the other photos for a picture of the entire necklace and an indication of scale. Like all of my jewelry, this necklace is not intended for use by persons under 13.
