Zuni Double-Strand Fetish Necklace – Turquoise, Coral, Lapis & Sterling
Handcrafted Zuni double-strand fetish necklace featuring twenty-eight individually carved animal fetishes with turquoise inlaid eyes. The carvings include bear, turtle, frog, bird, fox, horse, dolphin, buffalo, armadillo, and more—each symbolizing qualities such as strength, protection, and harmony in nature. Materials include turquoise, malachite, coral, sugilite, lapis, soapstone, and onyx, strung on fine 1.8 mm shell heishi beads accented with turquoise spacers. Finished with sterling silver cones and a traditional hook clasp.
Rooted in Zuni tradition, fetish necklaces represent spiritual connections between humans and the natural world. Each animal is hand-carved to embody the spirit and attributes of its kind, a practice passed down through generations of Zuni artisans. This example reflects mid- to late-20th century craftsmanship and the artistry that has made Zuni jewelry highly collectible worldwide.
