Item Description:
This is a rare vintage/antique necklace/breast plate measuring about 10 wide by 6"high. It features a large abalone shell with a woven straw design with fringe all along the bottom edge. It is held around the neck by leather cording. This piece came from a large collection of Mexican and Native American jewelry. Wrapped with the piece was a note with the name Rarotanga. From what I can find out, this is a small island in the South Pacific near Tahiti. The previous owners of the estate were world travelers but seemed to concentrate on Mexican Sterling. How they came to own this piece, I do not know, but it is unusual.
Most of our items are vintage unless we tell you otherwise. Therefore expect them to be in "Vintage" condition. We do not thoroughly clean our items, leaving that to the preferences of the buyer, but if there are any serious problems, flaws or noticeable repairs, we will always note it in the description. Realizing that nothing can replace a "hands-on" inspection of an item, if you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, we will always accept returns or otherwise try to make you a satisfied customer. Our return policy can be found at the top of the item page.
