Navajo MARILYN PLATERO 8 mm~ 18" Sterling Navajo Pearl Necklace
Navajo MARILYN PLATERO 8 mm~ 18" Sterling Navajo Pearl Necklace
Navajo Pearls are a "Must-Have" to any collection & can be worn with a Native American jewelry collection or Non~Native!! This will be the most versatile necklace you will ever own & even though Navajo made,they can be worn anywhere in the world & with any outfit,any jewelry collection.,any season,day or night!!The look is truly universal!
These style necklaces replace the shiny sterling chains since these oxidized beads go hand in hand with many of today's southwest pieces because most of the jewelry known to the SW is oxidized.
For a more simplistic look,this can be worn on it's own or you can try layering different length's & millimeter sizes for more statement..This length is also good when you want to show off a pendant that you want to display where the 'eye' goes! (**Even though the bead may fit through your pendant,the hook & eye closure has to fit through there, as well.So for the pendant to move freely, your bale should be in the at least 9-10 mm size or larger.**)
What I love about Marilyn's beads is the fact that the center is left more high polished,while only by the hole of the beads is oxidized.Personally,it gives them a more contemporary look, to a traditional bead.
Made by Navajo & bead pro,MARILYN PLATERO who hails from To'hajiilee,NM ,just west of ABQ. & makes ABQ,NM.her home.
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)**
