This Alice Platero (Navajo) Rolled Turquoise Jacla Necklace represents a beautiful intersection of Navajo craftsmanship and Santo Domingo stylistic influences. This piece showcases rolled turquoise beads, known for their vibrant uniformity and symbolic representation of life's continuity. The central feature of the necklace is a striking handcrafted sterling silver bean with spiny oyster shell and turquoise, which adds a dramatic contrast.
