Here is a fabulous chunky Kingman turquoise disk bead necklace, created by Billy Archuleta. Billy is not Native American - he is Spanish and has worked in the Native American art business at Rio Grande Wholesale in Albuquerque for many years. The hand shaped genuine stabilized Kingman beads are a vibrant sky blue turquoise and dark green-blue color with reddish brown, dark brown, and golden tan matrix. There are sky blue turquoise small disk bead spacers through the center section. The necklace is finished with 2 big round burnished sterling silver bead and a handmade smooth burnished sterling silver cone at each end. The turquoise disk beads are about 1/2 inch in diameter. High polish sterling silver hook and eye clasp. Both cones hallmarked with the Rio Grande Wholesale hallmark.
The gorgeous necklace is 21 inches long end-to-end. This necklace is a perfect accessory to your southwest wardrobe. Billy does not make the beads, he just strings them, otherwise it would be double the cost for sure.
