Vintage Navajo Sterling Silver Turquoise Nugget Necklace Natural Chip Bead 17"

Beautiful authentic vintage Native American sterling silver and natural turquoise nugget necklace.

This is the classic Old Pawn / Trading Post style necklace that is highly collectible and so wearable.

DETAILS:

• STONES: Genuine natural blue turquoise nugget / chip / pebble beads. Beautiful sky blue to robin's egg blue color with natural brown and black matrix / host rock inclusions. Each bead is freeform and unique. Polished but not perfectly uniform - exactly how vintage natural turquoise should look. Photos show true color and matrix detail up close.

• STERLING: Sterling silver cones / end caps marked STERLING. Has the correct vintage patina, not bright new silver. The sterling cones have a subtle etched / sunburst design.

• CLASP: Traditional S-hook / shepherd hook clasp that is secure and easy to wear. Functions perfectly.

Excellent vintage condition. No broken beads, no chips to beads, no cracks. Strand is strong. Ready to wear. Normal light wear and patina to silver consistent with age.

This is a wonderful stackable necklace, perfect alone for everyday Southwestern style or layered with other turquoise, pearls, or Navajo pearls.

100% genuine natural turquoise, not dyed howlite or block. The color variation and matrix is proof of natural stone.
