An elegant and stylish pearl bead and mosaic inlay necklace designed and hand made by the outstanding Kewa Pueblo artist Charlene Reano. This reversible necklace shimmers with the artist's signature style, combining the retro chic of white pearls with a contemporary choice of colour palette. The design consists of 144 mushroom and torus shaped white pearl beads. On one side there is 1 signature spiny oyster torus bead in the middle of the string. On the other side is a mosaic inlay cuboid of spiny oyster, green snail, black lip oyster and white clam shells. The bead strings are accented with 6 tiny cylindrical olive shell heishi beads on either side of the pendant. The trapezium shaped mosaic inlay pendant is laid out in a chevron pattern of green snail, mother of pearl, orange spiny oyster and melon shells on one side. The reverse side is a more parallel pattern of black lip oyster, melon and spiny oyster shells. The sides are made of mother of pearl and black lip oyster shell. The clasp is sterling silver. A lovely fusion of contemporary and retro American Indian jewellery styles that will enhance any look.
