Five hand-carved cardinals take flight in this striking fetish necklace by  artist Matt Mitchell of New Mexico.
 
Each cardinal is individually carved from richly colored apple coral and features distinctive details, including jet accents, turquoise eyes, and sterling silver beaks. The five birds are strung on traditional jet heishi with small turquoise accents, creating a dramatic contrast that beautifully highlights the warm red and orange tones of the apple coral.
A larger carved cardinal forms the centerpiece at the bottom of the necklace, while four additional birds appear along the sides.
 
The result is a wonderfully balanced, wearable work of art that celebrates the beauty and spirit of birds.
 
Handcrafted by Matt Mitchell, this necklace is a one-of-a-kind piece of Native American jewelry and a wonderful choice for a bird lover, collector, or anyone who appreciates distinctive Southwestern artistry.
