Description
- Graduated (5-10mm) strand of imitation turquoise heishe on 16" strands
- Block beads are a lightweight and inexpensive way to get a southwestern look
- Add a central focal and string as is, or use sections of this strand between other beads in a longer necklace, using the smallest sized ones at the back
- Block is a mixture of plastic resin, dyes, and sometimes stone powder
- This mix is shaped into "blocks" which are then carved into a variety of shapes, most frequently heishe or animal fetish shapes
- Heishe is the word for "shell bead" in the language of the Santo Domingo Indians, who became famous for these smoothly cut disc beads
