Description
 
This wonderful necklace offers the refined modernist designs of the White Hogan Shop’s silver jewelry, led by artist Kenneth Begay. Kenneth Begay (1913–1977) was called the "father of modern Navajo jewelry" for his unique and creative modern designs. Although his career began from the traditional jewelry teachings of Fred Peshlakai, Kenneth took his talent beyond those early lessons. He created elegant, clean designs with balance and beauty! This beautiful collar depicts his style of work perfectly. Simple elegance!


This lovely collar necklace is set with 2 iron wood pieces inset in the silver with a lovely silver design. Kenneth's simple, precise stamp work adds the final touch to this gorgeous piece.

The necklace is 6 1/2" long and is 1 1/8" wide at the center bottom and tapers up the neck to 1/8" wide, with silver balls at the end. It is 3 3/8" wide between the balls. It is very comfortable on and is absolutely beautiful on! It is stamped with his squared KB.
