Vintage Don Lucas Southwestern Multi-Strand Red Coral & Silver Charm Necklace

An Extraordinary Don Lucas Southwestern Statement Piece

This remarkable multi-strand necklace is attributed to celebrated Southwestern jewelry designer Don Lucas and is a piece that demands to be explored up close.

Multiple strands of richly colored red beads create a dramatic foundation for an extraordinary collection of decorative metal elements.

Look closely and the necklace begins revealing its personality: crosses, hearts, cactus imagery, geometric forms, sun-inspired motifs, decorative beads and an unforgettable stylized face are distributed throughout the strands.

Each turn reveals another detail.

The varying shades and shapes of the red beads—from vivid scarlet and orange-red to deeper naturally aged tones—give the necklace wonderful dimension, while the aged metalwork provides the contrasting Southwestern character for which Don Lucas jewelry is known.

Don Lucas has spent more than four decades working in silversmithing, and his jewelry is known for Southwestern design, hand-selected stones and fine materials. His Heritage collection draws upon traditional Southwestern aesthetics and Native silversmithing techniques.

This isn’t simply an accessory.

It’s wearable Southwestern art.

Whether worn as a dramatic statement necklace or displayed as part of a serious Southwestern jewelry collection, it is the kind of piece that immediately starts a conversation.
