Vintage Turquoise Bib Collar Necklace for Women, Native America Indian Style, Statement Jewelry
🐌 Shipment Delay - This item will ship on Mon, May 6. Thank you for your patience, and please visit us another time if you're unable to wait that long for shipment. 🐌
This 1980s statement piece features many turquoise stones--all gorgeous--set in an articulating bib collar necklace. The foundation is 925 sterling silver, and the turquoise is varied. Some cabochons are bright blue, others blue green, some with caramel brown matrix, others with gray to black. Likewise, the shapes vary from round to rectangular. The necklace is made from three pieces--a large V-shaped center section with an articulating piece on either side that wraps up toward the neck. It is meant to be worn high, at right about the collarbone, and a substantial snake chain finished it off with extra links on one side for easy adjusting. The origin is a mystery. The snake chain led me to believe this was not Native American made but rather Southwestern in style and non-Native artisan made. But I was told from the person from who I purchased the piece that it originally had a handmade chain that was too light for the piece and thus swapped out by a jeweler. Since it is unmarked, we call it Southwestern or Native American style.
The bib part of the necklace is 5" across and 5" from the tip fo the V to to ends where the chain is hooked. The chains each measure about 6" long, which makes it about 11" from tip of chain (not including the extra links) to tip of V. That would make it 22", although you can't quite measure it around given the thickness of the bib section. The extra links add another about 2-3" for adjusting, or, if it fits as is, that length of round links simply hang in the back, which has a sexy look.
To say this is a stunning piece is a complete understatement.

STUNNING! I have never had such a unique necklace. The craftsmanship and positive energy from the previous wearer(s) make this piece even more delightful to wear. This shop is one of my favorites and the seller is kind, communicative and professional. It shipped very quickly and (as always) was packaged very safely for its journey.
