{"product_id":"vintage-sterling-silver-zuni-bird-fetish-bead-necklace-17-25","title":"Vintage Sterling Silver Zuni Bird Fetish Bead Necklace 17 25","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delicate vintage necklace channels the storied tradition of Zuni fetish carving, blending Native American Southwestern artistry with the airy elegance of a fine liquid silver chain. The strand is composed of countless tiny sterling silver heishi-style tube beads, twisted into a slender, fluid rope that catches the light and drapes weightlessly against the skin. Measuring an adaptable length in the 17 to 25 inch range, it offers versatile styling from a close choker to a longer princess drop. Punctuating the chain are small accent stations of natural turquoise, heishi shell, and silver beadwork, including a cluster near the clasp area that adds rhythmic interest to the otherwise minimalist line. The focal point is a charming carved bird fetish suspended at the base, rendered in silver with a warm coral or spiny oyster body that lends it a sun-baked desert glow. The little bird is depicted in classic fetish style, perched and alert, its form simplified into the totemic silhouette that Zuni carvers have prized for generations as a symbol of protection, freedom, and good fortune. A bead cap and small silver beads frame the fetish, anchoring it with quiet refinement. Craftsmanship is hand-strung and hand-assembled, the hallmark of authentic Southwestern work rather than mass production. Condition appears very good and gently worn, with the silver showing a soft natural patina that collectors love, the coral retaining its rich hue, and the chain intact and supple throughout. This piece will appeal to lovers of Native American jewelry, fetish necklace collectors, and anyone drawn to lightweight, everyday-wearable artisan silver with genuine cultural resonance. Its understated scale makes it ideal for layering or wearing alone, a quietly meaningful treasure with the authenticity and soul that vintage estate buyers seek.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Silverware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55225673154851,"sku":"vintage-sterling-silver-zuni-bird-fetish-bead-necklace-17-25","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/vintage-sterling-silver-zuni-bird-fetish-bead-necklace-17-25_01.jpg?v=1781302298","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/vintage-sterling-silver-zuni-bird-fetish-bead-necklace-17-25","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
