A graduated turquoise bead necklace is featured in the image. The beads are of the "heishi" style, which are small, disc-shaped beads made by hand from natural materials like shells and stones. This style of jewelry is traditionally associated with Native American tribes, particularly the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo in New Mexico.
Heishi beads are made by a labor-intensive process of cutting and drilling the material, then stringing the rough squares and grinding them into smooth, rounded shapes. The term "heishi" originally meant "shell" in the Keresan language, but today it is used for this style of bead regardless of the material.
The value of a turquoise necklace can depend on the color and quality of the turquoise, the presence of a matrix (the natural veining in the stone), and the craftsmanship. Authentic, handmade heishi necklaces are highly valued for their unique appearance and the cultural heritage they represent.
