This elegant necklace is a stunning mosaic of hand-cut inlaid stones in various hues, and is a showstopping piece! It is from our collection of Navajo Native American jewelry and handmade by Evangeline David, with genuine Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, Coral, Spiny Oyster Shell, Onyx and Gaspeite, set in sterling silver.

Navajos are pioneers of silversmithing since the 1850’s. Their jewelry is highly regarded because of its unique style and beauty. Traditionally, silver represents the main visual element and stones are considered accents for silver work. Contemporary designs enhance the stones and silver depending on the style, skill and inspiration of the artist. Decorating techniques include stamp work, beading and engraving. Natural turquoise stones and shells are traditionally used. Over the years, other natural and non-natural materials such as coral, lapis, onyx, jet and man made opals have been added to enrich the Navajo jewelry designs.

You can wear this statement necklace on its own, or as a set with the matching earrings, as shown in the photos. Earrings are sold separately and priced at $336; please contact us if you are interested in purchasing the matching set at a special rate! Ask us for any other questions about our jewelry.
