Buying Vintage 1970's Navajo Natural Green Turquoise Nuggets With Sterling Silver Long Watermelon Beads/Southwestern Style/Handmade Indian Jewelry

These natural Greenish Blue 1/2" by 3/4" Turquoise Nuggets have a beautiful dark brown fine veined matrix with lots of variety. The long sterling silver beads, sometimes called 'Watermelon' beads because of their shape, were bench made by the Navajo artisan, and have darkened over time, which I think just adds to their attractiveness, their contrast highlights the nuggets. There are 23 natural stone nuggets total, all are nicely polished.

A full 32" in length, there is no clasp, but fits easily over the head. The buying nuggets towards the bottom sometimes need a little adjusting when first put on in order to lay flatter, as they're all shaped a bit differently. This gorgeous necklace would also look great layered with other Turquoise pieces, but is very striking on its own.
