This necklace is an 18 inch piece featuring approximately 3 to 6mm 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 native piece. They were obtained by a supplier who frequents New Mexico for authentic jewelry.
