Navajo Pearls are handcrafted sterling silver beads made by Navajo artisans, known for their unique, antiqued look achieved through a meticulous process of forming, soldering, polishing, and oxidizing each bead, often used in classic Southwestern jewelry for layering or pairing with other gems like turquoise for a timeless, versatile style. They originated as a form of currency and trade, evolving into iconic statement pieces worn in various lengths and sizes for both casual and formal occasions.
