It is my opinion that the SP Quiatoni pendants are much more recent than from Early Contact times. It has been reported that one was seen to have a murrina attached to it—which might suggest a time as late as the mid-19th C. SPQ necklaces (in the 1970s) were thought to be fairly rare. But, by now, I have seen so many, I can believe they are not nearly as old as previously thought.
Some seem to have been restrung, and beads removed or added. So these can be a jumble of beads from different times. But most beads are fairly recent; and seldom from as early as possibly the 17th C.
