Feel the weight of tradition with this "Turquoise Strawberry Fortress" necklace, a bold and heavy-duty piece that commands attention with its chunky, substantial design.

The large green Turquoise nuggets anchor the necklace, their deep, earthy tones streaked with golden-brown matrix, evoking the rugged strength of ancient cliffs under a vast sky, each one carrying the sacred essence of the Blue World—a spiritual touchstone for the Diné.

Interspersed among the Turquoise, a mixture of large and small strawberry lip shell discs adds a soft, coral-pink warmth, their glossy surfaces shimmering like the blush of a desert flower at dawn, creating a striking contrast that feels both powerful and tender.

The varying sizes of the shell discs add a dynamic rhythm, enhancing the necklace’s commanding presence.

A sturdy silver clasp secures this robust piece with a touch of elegance, its subtle shine ensuring the natural materials remain the focal point.

Crafted by Darlene Huskie of the Nakai Diné Clan, this is authentic Navajo jewelry, a testament to strength and artistry in every bead.

Perfect for those who seek a statement piece that embodies resilience and heritage, this necklace adds a bold, grounding energy to any look, whether worn for a significant cultural event or as a daily reminder of inner fortitude.
