Traditionally attributed to the Rio Grande Pueblo Indians, j. Acla is the Navajo word for ear string which. Were traded by the Pueblo with other tribes so that they took on a significance especially with Navajo ("the Dineh") who. In the oldest style necklaces, the jacla is a pair of loop earrings tied onto the necklace, as the one listed here. And with the traditional native wrap used since before the 1800s.

The two loops would be removed from the necklace and used as earrings. Later, the jacla were just left on the necklace and so was born a style of jacla necklace.

The tips of the jacla loops are often of a contrasting color or different stone, most likely spiney oyster or white shell as seen here. This very traditional style is worn both by men and women and is possibly from as early as 1950's.
