This beautifully handcrafted necklace showcases vibrant graduated turquoise heishi beads, accented with hand-stamped sterling silver barrel beads. The focal center bead measures approximately 0.8" x 0.5" and features traditional Navajo stampwork that reflects the meticulous craftsmanship often seen in the work of the late Raymond Gasper (Navajo), to whom this piece is conservatively attributed.
Measuring 20" in length, this piece embodies the earthy elegance of classic Southwestern jewelry—each turquoise bead shaped and polished by hand, with natural matrix variations and a rich blue tone throughout.
