For your consideration is a Navajo Native American Sleeping Beauty Turquoise and Jacla pendant necklace. A traditional Pueblo jewelry adornment, a jacla is two loops of heishi that were originally earrings and sometimes fastened to the bottom of a stone necklace as a pendant-like attachment. Jacla is Navajo for “ear string”. Although jaclas are attributed to the Rio Grande Pueblo Indians, they were traded with other tribes and have so become associated with the Navajo as well. Most jaclas have tabular pieces in the bottom center that are called “corn”. The rarest and most sought after “corns” are made from white or orange (spiny oyster) shell or coral. This stunning double stranded necklace is made of discoidal heishi shell and Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochons. This necklace features a tied chord construction indicative of an early 19th century age. What makes this necklace a wonderful piece is the addition of two jacla earrings containing discoidal Sleeping Beauty turquoise and the rare spiny oyster corns. Both jacla’s are complimentary in their use of Sleeping Beauty turquoise. They also feature red branch coral beads towards their tying points. This is an exceptional Navajo Native American piece in wonderful condition. It measures 21.5” long to the tips of the jacla pendants.
