We have here along 29 inch strand of vintage native American trade beads all Padres in the lovely chief blue, some clear, amethyst, purple, cobalt, and red all from my late husband’s collection of many years. This one is in very good condition.
The product is a rare 14k gold and silver pendant featuring two otters holding hands, symbolizing a kiss. It is stamped with a trade mark and is associated with Native American culture in the US. The intricate design and the use of two precious metals suggest that this pendant holds cultural significance and is a unique and valuable collectible item.

An Exceedingly Rare Museum-Quality Artifact. Opportunities to acquire authentic, antique Indigenous footwear with this specific architectural design are incredibly scarce-but finding a surviving pair in a modern men’s size 11.5 to 12 is virtually unheard of. Most antique moccasins available on the market are significantly smaller. These remarkable antique Plateau moccasins offer a breathtaking example of masterful historical craftsmanship and represent a fascinating era of trade and cultural artistry. Whether you are a serious collector of Native American antiquities or a curator of Western history, this rare, large-scale piece is a cornerstone artifact that will instantly elevate any private collection. Uncommon Construction & Trade Era Details. What truly sets these moccasins apart is their distinct structural and material details. Crafted with a highly desirable side-swept, detached fringed vamp, they showcase incredible regional Plateau construction. The vivid geometric beadwork is executed with period-accurate trade seed beads, accented beautifully by authentic brass trade spots-a signature adornment highly prized among Plateau tribes. They are constructed with a durable leather suede bottom and an authentic sheepskin upper, perfectly reflecting the historical utilization of trade-era materials. Antiques featuring this specific combination of brass trade spots, unique side-vamp construction, intact trade materials, and a highly sought-after large men’s size are fiercely pursued by advanced collectors. Do not let this remarkable artifact slip through your fingers. Item Specifics & Details. Era/Origin: Antique, Plateau Region (Attributed).

Very heavy necklace weighing in at 254 grams. Overall length is right at 12. Judging from the look, I would guess them to be clay. Will show flaws and some loss of color associated with age.
