Peyote Bird Necklace

Found this in my boxes of “shtuffs” I’m still sitting through. Says “peyote bird 925 “ on the clasp.

Value? I like it tho thinking bout keeping it. What is the stone? I was told could be coral...??


.

 

some of those stones do look like dyed coral...but hard to say they all are...

 

it's not very old

 

I agree, not very old. Peyote bird sells Southwest style jewellery, often with sterling findings and pretty stones. They also sell quality vintage jewellery, but this is very much their own style.

I see a mix of stones, mostly jasper. The pendants at the bottom are pressed and dyed sponge coral. There could be some more heavily dyed coral among the jasper beads.
The pink ones could be either coral or glass, I suspect the latter.

 

Spot on! Of course you knew, we knew you'd know, now we all know....yada, yada (thanks!).

 

I know, boringly predictable...
But there are many things I don't know.

 

So what can I sell it for?

 

Check ebay for similar items.

 

Depends on venue, ya know?

 

I got a range from $80-$1,500

 

"Sweet dreams are made of this"
Don't know the American market for this, but here, in France, 30€ would be considered a good sale...

 

Here in the Netherlands that would be an extremely good sale. Of the 'take the money and run' type.

 

Great song, brings back memories.

 

Ummm, perhaps you are including genuine NA jewelry with 'peyote bird' motifs along with pieces made by 'Peyote Bird'? Would be most realistic to search for 'Sold' items similar in style and material to yours, by the commercial manufacturer.

A few pieces brought more than I'd expect, but most sell for fairly low prices - a very quick search for somewhat similar pieces in eBay 'Solds' found these...

Looks like a similar design, different stones:



Various beads, including coral:



Coral with fancy toggle:



Large coral beads:

 

The American market for beaded items is going down hill, IMO, even for vintage to antique to ancient beads. Perhaps a resurgence is in order!

Agreed; well done. The prices are all over the place what with the continuing competition and changing algorithms of the "E" sites and others.

 

All for a resurgence, so what do we do about it. Thinking caps on folks, for the Bead Revolution!

 

Aha!! Thanks lol

 

How about we start talking how they appreciate in value. Social media, here, etc., etc. T'is true.
