RARE XFINE OLD NAVAJO STERLING BENCH BEAD INLAID WithTURQUOISE NECKLACE 164 GRAMS
This is absolutely magnificent. A work of art. THIS WEIGHS OVER 156 GRAMS. The largest beads are the center ones with all the OLD MAGNIFICENT INLAID TURQUOISE STONES! THE COLOR OF THE STONES-WOW! 9 of the beads are all inlaid with old blue turquoise beads. The largest one in the center is 1 3/8 inches tall (double that around) and 1 1/8 inches wide (double that around). They go down just a little bit however the turquoise beads always remain VERY LARGE. Then they are followed by all hand tooled old engraved bench beads which start out at about 10-11 mm and taper down slowly to the smallest being about 5-6 mm. THIS IS A REMARKABLE MUSEUM PIECE. I did notice 2 small turquoise stones missing on different beads. Very hard to tell I had to look hard to find them. There are NO DENTS AND NO DINGS. This is a gorgeous old Navajo piece. No marks that I could find… Gently acid tested and guaranteed sterling. THIS IS VERY SOLID-VERY GORGEOUS and one of the most magnificent Navajo pieces you will ever see.
