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.

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.
