Curated Inspiration｜ Jewelry ｜Necklace, Thunderbird Depression, Multi Stone, Santo Domingo, Vintage, 3299

DEPRESSION-ERA JEWELRY IS MAKING A COMEBACK IN A MAJOR WAY. WHAT WERE ONCE 1O-CENT ROADSIDE TOURIST TRINKETS ARE NOW COVETED AND COLLECTIBLE, AND WE ARE ALL ABOUT THEIR RESURGENCE RIGHT NOW.
Southwestern Santo Domingo-style jewelry is not only beautiful but almost baffling. This vibrant vintage battery bird necklace was crafted from tiny turquoise scraps, bits of gypsum, pieces of red plastic, and various found objects (such as car battery casings). Crafted in the traditional style, it's centered by a colorful thunderbird accented by a series of coordinating triangular tabs on a strand of gypsum beads.
