Victor Coochwytewa was one of three Native American elders chosen as Arizona Indian Living Treasures at the seventh annual AILTA award ceremony held in Phoenix in September 1994. This recognition is but one of the many accolades bestowed upon the Master Hopi Jeweler in a career spanning more than half a century. Decorated World War II Veteran (1922-2011). Victor retired from Hopi Silversmithing and his beloved farming in 2006. He continued living with his family at Hopi. Victor passed away at the age of 89 on July 3, 2011. An accomplished master Hopi jeweler and a humble man. Victor's work is not only amazing but highly collectable.

This lovely necklace has 10 overlay, domed silver components strung on small hand crafted silver beads and tubes. There is a beautiful soft patina on the entire piece. Hallmarked with Victor's (Rain Cloud) and his Hopi Silvercraft Guild mark. It is absolutely beautiful on the neckline!!

The necklace measures 15" long with each overlay component measuring 7/8" diameter.
