Graduated Navajo Silver Pearl Necklace

Navajo

About The Graduated Navajo Silver Pearl Necklace

Sterling silver mill-rolled sheet was used to fabricate the eight sizes of graduated beads in this outstandingly well-crafted necklace. 

Each bead is made of two domed halves, the silver of which has been stamp decorated in a circular pattern prior to embossment.  Each dome required use of a hand-carved two part male/ female die.  The bead halves were center pierced and soldered together.  The girdle seam of these beads is of exceptional finish, consistently smooth and rounded.

Sterling bench cones were used with silver wire and hooks to close this strand exquisite Navajo pearls strung on durable foxtail chain.
