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
