This lovely Diné bead necklace is a step above the typical sterling silver bead necklace. At 32-½ inches, it is a bit longer than most. Each hand crafted bead is expertly stamped and then soldered together. The beads are of a heavy gauge that allows the necklace to hang just right. Because the beads are hollow, the necklace is rather lightweight, which is a positive aspect, as most women do not like heavy necklaces hanging around their necks. It is an excellent example of fine Diné jewelry making.
