Not the ubiquitous jewelry made for sale to tourists. This is the real deal; an old estate item that belonged to my sister-in-law. Over the years, she traveled throughout our Southwest and, though not a collector, acquired a few choice items for her own use, buying old pawn from trading posts and, sometimes, buying directly from the artisans.

Twenty six graduated cubes of black-matrixed turquoise, separated by turquoise tube beads, and flanked at each end by a series of turquoise tube beads and silver beads.

Classic!
