This rare and timeless piece is a masterclass in vintage Navajo craftsmanship. Featuring beautifully patinated Sterling Silver Bench Beads (acid tested) and distinctively shaped melon and tubular beads, this necklace tells a story of tradition, artistry, and understated luxury.
Unlike standard Navajo pearls, these partially machine-rolled and hand-soldered beads—a signature style from the 1970s—give the necklace an extra layer of uniqueness. Every element is strung on durable foxtail wire, known for strength and flexibility.
The focal point is a striking sand cast Naja pendant, showcasing elegant curves and crowned with a single turquoise cabochon, offering just the right pop of color.
