Description: Offered byAntique American Indian Art, LLC--- AAIA -- Old Navajo Cerrillos Turquoise Necklace with JaclasCirca 1920-30 Green turquoise rounded stones and beads Necklace approx. 29" long total with jaclas measuring 3 1/2" long. With natural, hand shaped, deep green turquoise. Historically the Jocla necklace was made and worn by the Pueblo tribe. This tribe is known for the realization of the Heishi beads, these tubular and smooth beads made of stones and shells, which can be found on many Jocla necklaces. Then this jewelry spread to the Navajo tribe: the Pueblo and Navajo traded and the Jocla pendants were a currency of exchange. In fact, it was the Navajo who named these ornaments "Jocla", "Jacla", "Jackla" (spellings vary), which in their dialect means the "ear string". For decades the Jacla necklace has marked the Native American culture as a jewel, marker of wealth, element of barter.... It can be found in superb archive photos, on the necks of women and men during ceremonies and important moments. This ornament has crossed the tribes and the ages, to lend itself today to different styles. #120327-02 Welcome to Matt Wood's Antique American Indian Art, llc (AAIA) eBay Listings As the nation’s leading gallery of Antique North American Indian Art and Artifacts, we invite you to consider the beautiful art and artifacts that we list on eBay with full confidence in the authenticity and legality of the item, in the accuracy of the listing, and in the professionalism that we demonstrate in processing each transaction.
