This is an exceptional circa 1930-1940’s Navajo Native American Indian Buffalo Nickel necklace. Shown on this necklace are 50 rounded concho / concha beads with each being made of two original Buffalo Nickel coins dating from 1928-1937 for a total of 100 coins (they have been slightly rounded but retain the beautiful detail of the original coins). The necklace has been strung on an early sterling silver chain strand with hand made large clasp. The piece is believed to have been made in the late 1930’s to 1940’s when these coins were readily available. When unclasped the necklace measures 22” long.
