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.

She is now teaching her children the art of making these ‘Pearls”.

DESCRIPTION:

Navajo Rose Martin's designer beads are the "Gucci,the Armani,the Rolls Royce" of all Navajo Pearls made in today's market..You won't get a better made bead or a better looking necklace that what you will get with this designer.. She knows how to 'rock the house & quiet a room" with her outstanding made beaded necklaces.

This is the artist that knows how to make such a phenomenal necklace,that it may have people dropping to their knees & drooling at the mouth when you walk in the door!! One thing that's a sure guarantee is you will not easily be forgotten!

I have carried many of Rose’s Pearls in the past,but this one has bigger beads throughout & is heavier & longer than the rest!  (Comes with a bigger price tag too!!)You will be literally ‘dripping’ in sterling with this one!

It's "Bold,Dramatic & Over the Top & looks STUNNING on!!!

By looking at these you can witness Rose's skilled experience in bead making & it's very obvious as to why she is above the rest.These are made beyond perfectly, with each bead being the right size, in the right place,to ensure they lay right along the neck.

Breaking up the design a bit,these are not only made with round beads, but in the front center there are ‘saucer’ beads that have a heavier oxidized finish for some great contrast.From the center to the back,the beads graduate in size & one thing you'll witness is that they don't 'overlap'..They don't scrunch up against the other,to where your pushing the beads back in their place,but rather have breathing room.

This has her phenomenal cones that completes her necklaces. Her cones have her own signature look,so you don't even need a hallmark,you will always know they're hers.They're made of heavy gauge sterling & are stamped beautifully on both front & back.The hand made extender is made of heavy gauge wire,so you can adjust the length if needed. (See photos on mannequin with orange background) The hook is even hand made & hand stamped! (See photo)

Because of the 'hand made factor' these take time to make,so they aren't flooded in the industry & in every store like commercial massed produced beads.

These have heirloom quality & can be passed down from generation to generation.

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