Necklace - Ancient Water Mother of Pearl Pen Together with Theda Perdue's biographicalThe ancient waters of the Tennessee River were once known for their beautiful mussel shells. Early Cherokee would make shell gorgets and other jewelry from the shells harvested there. These pieces are handmade by award winning Cherokee coppersmith Greg Stice. Please note that usage of natural material, like shell, will produce variations within each piece and no two pendants will be exactly the same. Picture shown for example only. Approx. 2 1 4"
