Is This an Antique Pueblo Native American Bracelet?

I now see that she’s keeping it. Hope its being worn and I want to see yours AJ when you finish it. I just finished a mashup of everything with an antique Tuareg center.

 

Sounds beautiful, will you show us?

 

The beads look authentic. Look at the holes. If they are pump drilled ( at least one side will show sort of a funnel shaped start to the hole) as opposed to machine drilled (which is normally straight and sharp edged), they probably date from no later than the 1950s. The necklace could easily be restring to balance the turquoise tabs better with the turquoise heishi in between the shell heishi instead of all at one side. As far as any dating by thread on these necklaces, it really makes no sense unless you are looking at something from an archeological dig. Thread wears out and it would be foolish not to restring a necklace you want to wear. If the necklace is too short to wear using a Navajo/Pueblo style silver clasp, you can lengthen it by doing the string longer and wrapping the thread around it for the length you want. It does appear to be a necklace section that the finder just restrung to keep the beads together. They call the wrap at the neck a squaw wrap, but squaw is considered a pejorative now.
