BE SURE TO CHECK OUT 2 OTHER NAVAJO PEARL NECKLACE I HAVE LISTED BY THIS AMAZING ARTIST!

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 go through a lengthy process by cutting,drilling each hole,soldering,filing,hand stamping (If any),hand finishing 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.These are made the ‘Old School’ way & unlike machine cut,touristy,commercial,overseas made beads,these are validated in not only what you will see by ‘eye’,but you may find that there may be just a slight variation in the millimeter of the size of beads..Many times you can also see it in the seams,depending how much time is spent making the seam flawless.
****************

ABOUT ROSE MARTIN:
Navajo Rose Martin is a NM native who resides on the Navajo reservation,in Pinedale,NM just outside Crown Point,which is right in the heart of the Navajo Reservation.She is the descendant of a multi generation family who were the 1st to start making Navajo Pearls decades ago & with each generation,each learn the art of making traditional Navajo Pearls..Rose has now been making them for at least 30 years & is considered “A MASTER”,making these impeccable time consuming beads. She is now teaching her children the art of making these ‘Pearls”.

THE DEFINITION OF 'STATEMENT JEWELRY:

** It allows both men and women to express themselves and their personality through jewelry. Statement jewelry is unique and bold and helps the wearer portray who they are through their outward appearance**

*************

DESCRIPTION:

Surely they may have had this artist in mind when they wrote it! She knows how to make a necklace that will have them 'oohing & ahhing' when you step out with these on!

Made for the woman who loves a longer & very stunning 2 strand statement style necklace, that will literally have you dripping in sterling!

With a little mathematical sense,the beads have to align perfectly & the artist has to have the ability to know what size will go where,so the beads are allowed to 'breathe'! This alone,shows Rose's skill & expertise!

This is made with a actual design,where you have a graduation of different size round & saucer shape beads,with the largest round & the saucer shapes being about 1/3 rd of the way up from the center front..The saucers are much more oxidized which gives wonderful contrast to the necklace!

This is made with just over a 3/4 pound of sterling & comes with a 2" hand made chain extender,so you can play with the length a tad more.This one has Rose's 'signature'(& phenomenal!!) made cones & even if this didn't come with her hallmark tag,the cones alone will let you know who made it, because these are identifiable to only her! Also,check out her hook,that is even hand tooled!(See photos)

Imagine this with your best black outfit OR anything in between!

Made for the woman with 'exquisite' tastes & loves the highest quality of jewelry available to the market!

These are "Blessed" with sage before going out to the industry!
