MAGNIFICENT MUMMY’S BUNDLE CHOKER

If you’re fairly well-versed in Southwestern jewelry, the legendary label needs no introduction. It’s long been known for its striking statement pieces (particularly chokers) crafted from and inspired by the archaeological digs of Doug Hancock, interpreted into wearable works of art and marketed by his wife Mary for decades. Well, we’re beyond thrilled to announce that the Mummy’s Bundle line is now a part of Double D Ranch, created from the original casts and by the same macrame artisan as the previously revered pieces. This alluring necklace is an ultra-wide choker crafted from several strands of dentallium and hairpipe beads with concho accents at each end, and finished with a focal point of eclectic sterling silver charms at the ends of matching dentallium shells of varying lengths.
