Native American Necklace Stamped Sterling Vintage NAVAJO Pearl Graduated Beaded Necklace. Condition is Good VINTAGE Pre-owned. LENGTH: actually 24 3/4 long end to end, due to slight SLACK in chain. The technique used to wire the silver threading chain with the end cones to the hook & eye clasps (Pic # 9), could be tightened up by a skilled jeweler if bothersome… I simply wore for years as is with no issues. WEIGHT: about 40 grams. STERLING SILVER (tested 925). UNSIGNED & ARTIST UNKNOWN. BEADS MEASURE: from 15mm largest, down to 5mm shortest in back (about 8 different size graduated beads). Wonderful, older style hand stamped benchbead (bench bead) necklace strung on a silver fox tail chain with slender 1 3/4 long curved sterling cone ends & a sterling Hook & Eye closure. CONDITION: V ery nice VINTAGE PREOWNED CONDITION. This necklace does have some slack in the chain, but is sturdy and doesnt affect wear (Pic # 9).
