COFEw22 Harpo fetish necklace silver animals

Fetishes necklace.

Pretty fetish necklace featuring cast silver animals strung on a row of “Liquid silver” tubular sterling silver beads.

"Liquid silver" is a traditional Navajo work. Silver tubular beads are hand-strung together in order to create one or several strands. This give a fluid aspect to the jewel, that makes think to silk or water running on the skin, explaining why the Navajos gave this name to this process. 

In a time when the Zuni tribe lived from agriculture and hunting, the hunters couldn't do with these amulets and would never forget to bring them during their expeditions. The fetishes assure benevolence of the soul. Each animal represents its spirit, its own inner force and protects its owner.
