LOVELY Vintage Native American Sterling Silver & Turquoise Bench Bead Necklace

  

Wonderful vintage Native American, Navajo, hand-crafted sterling silver turquoise and bench bead "Y" style necklace. This lovely necklace is 18 3/8 long and weighs 30 grams.

It features a 5" section across the bottom portion that has large rich blue-green genuine turquoise nugget beads and 6 mm sterling silver Native American bench beads that culminate at center with a 1 and 1/2" drop with additional turquoise and bench beads. It has sturdy, highly polished sterling silver elongated link chain with a traditional Native American hook and eye clasp at the top. The turquoise beads measure from, approximately, 14 mm to 16 mm in size. This necklace is in very good vintage condition with no damage other than, perhaps, very minor surface wear and/or oxidation.

It has been professionally tested as sterling silver and the turquoise has been examined and verified by a certified gemologist. PLEASE NOTE: Any display items pictured are NOT included.
