**First Time At Auction**

Native American, Southwestern United States, Navajo tribe, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. Wow! A gorgeous 93% silver necklace comprised of dozens of graduated strands strung with hundreds of delicate tubular 'liquid silver' beads. The terminals are capped by slightly curved silver conical shapes with a loop and hook clasp. This is called "liquid silver" because the tiny silver beads are supple and velvety in texture when strung together. They are sometimes called "silver heishi" because heishi refers to the traditional tube or disc beads from the American Southwest. Absolutely elegant, this necklace can easily be paired with formal or casual wear, making it a versatile piece for any occasion! Size (neck opening diameter): 15" Diameter (38.1 cm); length of largest strand: 13.5" L (34.3 cm); quality of silver: 93%; total weight: 50 grams
