Offered in this lot is a silver and Carico Lake Turquoise necklace made by Native American Apache Jan Loco 1974. Jan Loco is no longer making jewelry. She moved from New Mexico some years ago and her whereabouts are unknown making this a very rare collectable piece. Jan Loco (b.1949) developed a unique method of creating jewelry without the use of power tools. Using only heavy-duty shears, she cut and fashioned her piece to the desired shape, after which she hammered it with a specially selected rock until she achieved the desired texture. This is a laborious task, but she felt it honored her ancestry to use items of nature rather than power tools. As an adult she learned she was the great granddaughter of Chief Loco, one of the last of the Apache chiefs, who had been imprisoned in Florida in 1886 by the U. S. government. This necklace is made with wonderful round, saucer, and tube bench beads. at the center is a silver plate with two Carico Lake cabochons of turquoise. The cabochons are accented with five silver drops a swirl bar and twisted silver rope. The face of the silver plate has unique texture made by Jan Loco's trademark "stone stamping". The plate with the cabochons measures2 1/2" by 1 3/4" and the necklace measures 24". the total weight of the necklace is 67.0 grams
