Included in this lot is a Navajo Native American Royston turquoise and branch coral strand necklace. This wonderful Navajo utilizes unpolished raw branch coral pieces. 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 necklace incorporates highly polished heishi shells towards the clasp. The middle of the necklace at the center of the branch coral graduation is a collection of Royston turquoise and tortoiseshell gemstones. The necklace measures 28 ½” long when unclasped.
