Necklace Details
:
3.1"W glass beaded medallion with graduated length dangles.  Hand woven onto a black double sided simulated leather pouch bag.  The medallion has a beautiful 8 pointed star design for life and fertility with the tips pointing outward for inner balance. Each symbolic triangle within the star embodies the important Huichol colors of orange, yellow, turquoise, red, adobe and deep yellow.  Yellow Peyote buds complete the medallion around the edges and the red circle
is the symbol for strong Hope.
Matching graduated length dangles below the flower medallion form the Prayer Arrow symbol with the same colors as the medallion and the medallion is held by a beautiful Huichol floral beaded strand.  We have matching earrings in our ebay store.

Handmade by a Mexican Huichol Indian from the Sierra Mountains in Jalisco, Mexico.  The Huichol are an indigenous Mexican Indian tribe that originally relied on symbols for their written language.  Their culture, rich in ceremony and spirituality, create beautiful beaded art necklaces and earrings.  Each one of their beaded necklaces takes hours and days of work.  One by one, glass beads were added to create this gorgeous medallion necklace.  This necklace is
100% authentic Huichol
hand crafted, glass beaded jewelry and not the imitation plastic beaded necklace.
We love the unique design with the hidden pouch.  Pretty necklace for the boho look we all know and love or dress it up with a little black dress.  Absolutely gorgeous!
