Hi, I was cleaning out my jewelry box and found this necklace. I don’t know how to identify the blue beads. I’m also no aware of the style of this necklace. Thanks for any help!

@julie511 Hi ~ I think your description of blue beads is a good one. Those beads aren’t turquoise, in my opinion. Not sure what they could be. The necklace isn’t Native American style work. I wouldn’t call it Southwestern style either, though, that may have been the intent. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

It would help to have better close up photos of the beads, but they look like dyed howlite or magnesite to me. The metal beads and feathers are machine made, not silver.
