Native American Handcrafted Thunderbird & Mother of Pearl Sterling Silver Plated Necklace (21")

Presenting a remarkable Native American inspired handcrafted necklace, featuring a prominent hand-carved thunderbird centerpiece fashioned from genuine shell. This central motif is elegantly flanked by two smaller mother-of-pearl birds, creating a balanced and symbolic design. The necklace is adorned with graduating sterling silver plated beads, culminating in two genuine .925 sterling silver fluted beads positioned above the smaller birds. This piece exhibits a natural, beautiful patina, which may be preserved or cleaned to personal preference. While the majority of the metal components are sterling silver plated (verified with neodymium magnet and JSP acid testing), the two fluted beads are confirmed .925 sterling silver. Measuring approximately 21 inches in total length, the necklace is designed to lay gracefully, despite characteristic curling at the ends. An exceptional addition for any Native American or Southwestern jewelry collection.
