Navajo Purple Branch Coral & Sterling Necklace
In this lot is an amazing Navajo Native American necklace made of Purple Branch Coral and Sterling silver. The necklace is 24" long it has graduated nuggets of Purple Branch Coral strung tightly. Corals are marine invertebrates that typically live in compact colonies of many identical individual polyps. These pieces of branch coral are graduated and show the cavities created by the individual polyps which is not typical in Native American jewelry. The nuggets show color and flash as well as texture. At each end of the necklace is a hand made silver bead that snugs into a silver cone that leads to a silver bead and then the hook and loop. The cone is stamped Sterling.
