Genuine Navajo Indian Traditional Overlaid Sterling Silver Beaded Necklace.

This Navajo necklace is an amazing work of Sterling Silver art. It is strung with hand made three sided box beads featuring intricate hand cut Sterling Silver overlay designs. The dark, traditional American Indian designs come alive against the shimmer of the polished Sterling Silver. The fascinating overlay beads have been hand strung with Sterling Silver bench beads with a high shine. This impressive piece of Sterling Silver jewelry is 24" long. Hand crafted overlay designs may vary slightly, you'll receive one from the group of necklaces pictured below.

Overlay is created by "sweating" or soldering two pieces of silver together. The top piece contains a design element which is meticulously hand cut out of silver. The bottom piece is oxidized and often textured with stamping to produce a contrasting background. Once together the work is carefully filed, buffed, and polished to produce this fine finish.
