    Description

    This is a listing for an older, circa late 80's, Navajo necklace.  It's strung with hand rolled turquoise heishi from the Kingman mine.  The heishi cutter did an excellent job of shaping the beads for a smooth transition from bead to bead.  The turquoise is a true teal blue. A beautiful blend of gorgeous turquoise with a scattered golden matrix.  The necklace finishes with hand wrought hooks as a clasp. They could be a well done silver plate or sterling, not sure and untested.  It's strung on a fiber cord, which is in good condition and the beads have acquired a warm aged patina.  I priced the necklace for the quality of the hand ground heishi, which is excellent.  There are no missing or broken beads.  They show the beauty of being hand formed and are a warm rich color. This necklace weighs 50 grams.
    The graduation is perfect.  The total length of the necklace is approximately 25 inches (including clasps)...so a very generous length. You have a very subtle graduation or change in size over 25 inches, which is perfectly done.  This is an elegant strand noteworthy for it's simplicity and the perfection of the workmanship.
