Turquoise Rondelle Bead and Bison Horn Necklace by Tim Shatraw

Natural materials and understated craftsmanship come together in this distinctive necklace by Tim Shatraw. Smooth rondelle beads of genuine turquoise display an earthy palette of soft blue-greens, olive tones, and warm golden matrix, creating subtle variation. At the center, polished bison horn forms a graceful three-piece pendant whose rich black finish provides a striking contrast to the vibrant turquoise.

Turquoise has been treasured throughout the American Southwest for centuries, valued for its natural beauty and enduring symbolism. Often associated with protection, strength, and good fortune, each turquoise bead is unique in color and matrix, reflecting the individuality of the stone itself. The addition of bison horn—a material deeply connected to the history and cultures of the Great Plains—brings warmth, texture, and meaning to the design. Carefully polished to a smooth finish, the horn showcases its natural luster while honoring a material long respected for its practicality and significance.
