See full item description and all pics. Vintage NAVAJO STERLING SILVER 30 Stamped Bench Bead NECKLACE marked 87 beads. NOTE: White spots in pics are from light reflections, not on object. A fantastic older vintage hand made sterling silver Native American Navajo stamped bead necklace in a stunning 30 length. This necklace is great to wear, it looks and feels beautiful on. Beautifully made, it has a good weight so it lays nicely but doesn’t feel cumbersome. 98.7g / 3.17ozt.. I’ve looked online at others this length and few weigh this much, I only found 1 that weighs more. Strung on a sterling chain, cone ends and a hook closure. The cones have a stamped mark, a half circle with many rays , like a sun, and stamped STERLING on both. Beautiful handworked beads, I’m not an expert but I think these are called bench beads. Basically 4 different sizes & large center bead. Total of 87 beads if I counted right. Large center bead approx. 5/8 across, smallest beads approx. All have a petal looking design stamp on top & bottom of bead. Next to smallest size bead has a ridged edge, all of the others have the smooth pearl like edge. Gorgeous silver light reflection quality. Very appealing looking on. I have not polished it and leave that to new owner if desired. Beautiful condition with no obvious damage. I did not find any dents or damage to the beads. If I missed something it is very small. 98.7g or 3.17 troy oz. May become your go to necklace, totally flattering on.
