20" Navajo pearls in sterling silver

NAVAJO HANDCRAFTED NAVAJO PEARLS

Navajo hand made sterling silver necklace. Measuring 20" in total length with each of the beads measuring approximately 9mm in size. The Navajo artist has taken the time to crafted each bead by hand and even taken the time to create the hook & eye by hand. The necklace is nicely weighted and easy to wear. It can be worn by itself or with your favorite pendant. This is a wonderful example of Navajo craftsmanship! 

Navajo Pearls are traditionally made sterling silver beads. Silver beads are a traditional art form for Diné silversmiths, and the beads have as many expressions as there are artisans.... Making the beads is a time-consuming process. Each bead begins with silver that has to be melted, rolled and cut.
