Made by Navajo artist Kathleen Yazzie, this beautiful lariat necklace is set with deep purple spiny oyster. The contrast in the deep purple and the outstanding silver work makes this piece simply stunning. The spiny oyster is set in a smooth sterling bezel and accented with sterling twist rope, buttons, hand stamped droplets, and stamped fan designs. Finished with 7 mm sterling Navajo pearls. Just a note, spiny oyster is just that and there are natural tiny spiny marks in the shell. They are very hard to see but if you look closely at the pictures you will see them. It does not affect the beauty of this piece, simply natural stones/shell.
