Native American Turquoise and Lapis Sterling Silver Bead Choker Necklace

This necklace is a beautiful piece of Native American jewelry. This one has been hand-strung with gorgeous beads of reconstituted stabilized Turquoise and Lapis. Shining Sterling Silver beads artfully provide the spacing between the Turquoise and the Lapis sections, which is five Lapis beads on each side of a center section of five Turquoise beads. Each end is dressed with a Sterling Silver cone with hook-eye and comb clasp for an extra high shine. Strung in our shop by Native American artist Berlinda, this choker is 17" long. An extension chain can be included with this item for $5.00 per inch. Let us know how long you'd like your extension chain in the 'comment box' as you check out.
