    I don't know if I've had this necklace on this site or not.If so just count it up to my 73 years,Lol. I'm not sure but I beleive this is a antique or vintage Native American heishi necklace.Beautiful shells with what appears to be a little figures and little birds.Anyone know age or if Native American what tribe.

    A sweet necklace. Not Native American, but inspired by Native American and other cultures (pre-Columbian, Pacific?).
    Could have been made in the Philippines, where they make shell necklaces and also carve NA-style bird and animal beads.

    It isn't antique and may not be old enough to be considered vintage. It is attractive though.
