This Beautiful minimalistic necklace is crafted using large 10mm sterling silver Aztec patterned beads, and sterling silver Native American style Navajo pearl beads, strung in an alternating pattern to create an eye catching statement piece. The overall design results in a well balanced piece of South American charm that is worthy of any occasion from casual to formal.
These beautiful Navajo Pearls are sterling silver beads traditionally made by Native American Navajo (Diné) silversmiths. Native American tribes were introduced to the technique of silversmithing by Spanish explorers in the late 1500's.
They then added this newly found craftsmanship to their traditional methods of bead making, leading to what we continue to admire today as sterling silver Navajo desert pearls. What set the Navajo Pearls apart from other beads is the light oxidized finish to the beads that lends character and depth to the finished piece.
They are often paired with gemstones or mixed with multiple sizes and shapes to create beautiful patterns from simple to complex. Photos taken outside in natural lighting and in a light box. No filters or color enhancements are added to the photos.
The beads are strung on strong 49 micro woven stainless steel beading wire with nylon coating. We use only the finest brightly polished sterling silver findings. The superior quality large lobster claw clasp which is easy to hold and open completes this necklace.
We offer this in lengths from a 14" choker up to 28" in length. Please select your size and finish from the drop down menu.
