ABOUT AUTHENTIC NAVAJO PEARLS:
Authentic Navajo Pearls(Bench Beads) are made entirely by the hands of Navajo silversmiths.Making each & every bead is a extremely labor intensive process..These are made with the silver being melted, rolled & then depending on the bead size the artist has in mind,the sterling is then cut into a circle,domed & then the 2-half domes are soldered together to create a full bead.They then drill each hole,file the seams down so where the 2 sections meet, there are no lines of demarcation, hand finish them & then stringing each,one by one. All these things contribute as to why they stand out above the rest!

There is nothing used by manufactures to make them get made faster & nothing you’ll find in these are done in a commercial way.Rose's beads are made the ‘Old School’ way just like her ancestors taught her,which are unlike the "Commercial-Machine cut,Touristy,overseas made beads that are perfectly round & are what sellers are selling as "Navajo Pearls" & are not. They are just a sterling bead that's been an oxidized & are generally made overseas.(So ask the seller if they are "commercial or Authentic Navajo" if that matters to you!!

THE NECKLACE:

Designed in a 3 strand that is very wearable,without it being too big that's so uncomfortable to wear,nor too small that you won't have some kind of statement.

The wonderful thing about Rose's necklaces is for the fact that her beads lay right, with the right size beads placed where they 'breathe'& never 'overlap'!

This necklace has versatility that can take you from day to night,worn with any kind of wardrobe & because of their look,can be worn in OR out of the southwest!

These beads are "BLESSED" before hitting the market.

** Because of the rising cost of sterling,I was warned that the next time I purchase this similar style,the price will be higher**

FYI:
**All Navajo Pearl beads are hollow,with some being light in weight,while others are heavy. The weight of a Navajo Pearl necklace is determined by the gauge of sterling that the artist chose to work with & of course how big the bead is & the length (More beads)**
