Silver Beads and Turquoise Nugget Necklace, circa 1960 [SOLD]

This necklace is comprised of natural shaped turquoise cabs drilled and strung, some stone-to-stone and some separated by silver beads. According to The Maisel Company records, the  necklace dates to around 1960.

The turquoise appears to be a very high grade stone and it has not been tampered with as was the custom with some turquoise after 1960 when so much poor quality turquoise was enhanced with polymers and dyes.  These nuggets are beautiful and of the highest quality.

Provenance: From the collection of The Maisel Company, Albuquerque.
