Shell Disk Necklace with Multi-Stone Bird Fetishes by Matt Mitchell

Intricately carved birds with hand-painted eyes adorn a heishi beaded necklace, crafted with a hand-tooled sterling silver clasp, to create a stunning, fully reversible statement piece. Perfect for those who appreciate inspired and sophisticated jewelry.

Heishe or heishi (pronounced "hee shee") are small disc- or tube-shaped beads made of organic shells or ground and polished stones. They come from the Kewa Pueblo people (formerly Santo Domingo Pueblo) of New Mexico, before the use of metals in jewelry by that people.
