This necklace is a 16 inch piece featuring 4 to 8mm graduated oxidized sterling silver "desert pearls" and white buffalo turquoise beads, creating a distinct Southwestern aesthetic. White Buffalo is known for its striking white and black veining. This combination results in a necklace that blends traditional Native American-inspired design with natural stone elements, suitable for various styles and occasions. Please note: The sterling silver pearls are machine made then oxidized and finished by Native American artisans. If the pearls were all hand made they would be 3 x the price. However, you can still rest knowing you still have an authenticate artisan piece. They were obtained by a supplier who frequents New Mexico for authentic jewelry.
