Can someone please help me determine the value of these Heishe, its about a 17 inch strand. I’m not sure what mine the turquoise is from, I’m guessing Kingman because of all the different shades. Also, I’m not sure how old it is. It’s strung on old string, but I see this type of closure on lots of different pieces. Any opinions are appreciated.

I would guess this to be 1980s, and Kingman turquoise like you suggest. You don’t see as much Santo Domingo bead work like this anymore, the few artists who use real turquoise and still do this charge a premium. I included a pic of a jacla that is from the same period for comparison, you will notice how mine is a little more refine and color is consistent. I would say $250 - $300.
Jason, can you please tell me something about that small orange coral in the left edge of the picture? Thanks
