Vintage Navajo Bisbee Turquoise Necklace — Sterling Bench Beads, 26"
A bold and beautifully crafted statement piece, this vintage Navajo necklace showcases natural Bisbee turquoise in striking nugget forms. The turquoise varies in size, with the largest nugget measuring approximately 57.2 mm, and features distinctive matrix patterns in earthy browns and blacks—hallmarks of Bisbee’s renowned Arizona mine. Hand-cut turquoise discs (4 mm to 10.8 mm) are interspersed throughout, adding texture and balance.
The necklace is finished with traditional elongated sterling Navajo bench beads and a lobster clasp marked “925,” added during a professional restringing on durable wire. This modern update ensures wearability while maintaining its classic Southwestern appeal.
A substantial and visually striking piece, ideal for collectors of Native American jewelry or those seeking authentic turquoise artistry.
