1970s Navajo Sterling Silver Two-Strand Necklace of handmade Navajo pearls and long tapered silver beads. On each strand, groups of four to six round beads alternate with single tapered beads. The visible seams on the round beads show where two hand-domed halves were soldered together. The silver has a soft, satin patina from age. The strands are finished with sterling silver cones, wire-wrapped ends and a hand-forged hook clasp. Unsigned. Good overall condition with age-related wear, including small dents and surface marks on some beads.
