26" Handmade 15mm Bead necklace sterling silver, Tonisha Haley, Navajo pearls signed

Navajo Pearls is a name that has been popularized to describe Navajo silver beads. Handmade Navajo beads are made by cutting two silver discs, doming each side, and drilling a hole in the center. The two halves are then filed to fit together and soldered. These beads are handmade. They are hand finished with an old style, rustic patina.
