This vintage necklace is a beautiful piece of Native American jewelry showcasing a stunning fluted, sterling silver, oval-shaped pendant that is surrounded by Royston Turquoise beads as well as smaller, stamped sterling beading. The turquoise stones are genuine, not dyed, and have been stabilized to prevent breakage and chipping. They also feature lots of the sought after veining/color variation in various shades of brown. A few stones have what might appear to be cracks (see images) but they are natural characteristics of the stone and are not breaks or damages.
The necklace is completed by an adjustable sterling hook closure. Stamped: "925" on both halves of closure. Measurements are taken with item oriented as intended to be worn.
