The background is Tortoise Shell and the Mudhead is handcrafted with the stones of Coral, Turquoise & Mother of Pearl. Augustine & Rosalies Pintos work lives on through Bev Etsate.

So you might see a newer piece that was done with a real shiny black background. In a seperate listing I have a fantastic bracelet which was handcrafted by Augustine & Rosalie Pinto. It has been appraised for $2,500 if it was in perfect condition. Please go to that listing to read on the details of the condition of the bracelet. The length of the Necklace is 20" it can be adjusted shorter. The dimensions read more
