Antique Navajo 100 Strand Liquid Silver Necklace

This is an antique Native American liquid silver necklace composed of 100 strands of sterling silver tube beads. The strands of sterling silver tubes are buttery soft and were expertly strung. This gorgeous necklace has long curved cones hand crafted by a Navajo silversmith. I like to twist the strands, but you could wear them straight. The necklace is finished with handmade hook and eye clasp. The cones are 3 inches long have a hammered or stamped sun design and are hallmarked STERLING. The necklace has a beautiful dark patina only achieved by age. I purchased this at an estate over 20 years ago.
