Wind across sun-baked mesas in the soft rattle of silver beads: this 23-inch Navajo Bench Bead Necklace brings the spirit of the Old West to every step. Thirty-seven hand-forged 15 mm sterling silver beads—each coined, pressed, and oxidized on the Navajo reservation—catch glints of sunlight like desert mirages. Strung on a hand-twisted silver wire and finished with a handcrafted S-hook clasp, this heirloom-quality necklace is a tribute to generations of silversmiths who shaped frontier legends in metal.
