Description
This is a Navajo pearl & apple coral necklace (matching bracelet is in the shop). This is a delicate 3mm necklace/choker. Bright red apple coral rondelle beads with round oxidized sterling silver navajo pearls with sterling lobster clasp.
Desert pearls made by hand here in New Mexico.
When the Europeans arrived, they brought a number of new elements with them including copper, silver, and glass. Navajo Pearls are made of sterling silver and every individual one is handmade from cutting all the way through to stringing. No two beads are alike and the time-intensive process is what makes Navajo Pearls so special and so expensive.
Traditionally, Navajo Pearls are individually made by hand, making each bead one of a kind. Today, when not made by Navajo artisans, these style beads are referred to as Desert Pearls. Artists express their own style through unique stamping and finishing on these beautiful and timeless creations.
