Navajo Pearls are entirely crafted by hand and are very time consuming and labor intensive, therefore much more expensive than bench made beads. Bead making is most often the result of a multigenerational family tradition. You will see this art carried on for decades within the same family. Navajo pearls are so versatile, they can be worn as is or with a pendant in the center and go with most everything you wear. Fewer Navajos are making quality beads, so they are becoming rare.

This beautiful hand stamped silver bead necklace was crafted by artist Larry Pinto. The beads are made with heavy gauge silver and are stunning on. Not hallmarked but strong attribution to artist is Larry Pinto. A beautiful Natural patina graces the entire necklace.
