This item is a vintage Southwestern liquid silver and turquoise chip necklace.

Key Characteristics

• Style: Traditional Native American / Southwestern design featuring a single strand of "liquid silver" (fine, tubular sterling silver bugle beads strung tightly together to create a fluid, metallic look).

• Gemstones: Features spaced, polished turquoise chips or small nuggets acting as colorful stations along the strand.

• Clasp: Equipped with a standard metallic barrel screw clasp, which is highly typical for 1970s and 1980s Southwestern jewelry styles.

• Dimensions: Measuring alongside the tape, the folded necklace rests at just over 7 inches, giving it an open wearable length of roughly 14.5 to 15 inches, which fits as a standard choker or short accent necklace

• The market value for a vintage, single-strand liquid silver necklace with turquoise chips generally ranges from $15 to $45
