    It's more Asian than Native American. The clasp is straight out of India. Those heishi however....dunno. Hobbyist maybe?

    Looks like 1990s jewelry.
    Remember my son wearing things like that.

    You still got a good deal; you couldn't get the heishi for that, never mind the chalk turquoise.

    The "heishi" looks like stone made in India,inexpensive compared to real shell.

    Think this is home hobbyist. All the components are readily available through any beading supply source. The brass bead tips, hook & eye clasp with the figure 8 shaped 'eye' particularly grab my attention. The beads themselves might be stocked anywhere they have beads.

    Thanks everyone, I'll try and stay away from buying crap. Just wish I knew more because my home is getting packed like a sardine can.
