I am selling Native American beads and other items out of my personal collection that I put together over time from pawn and antique markets all around the Southwest.
Know that I have restrung the necklace in the traditional Navajo way with sterling cones and handmade hook and eye closures. I smithed the sterling hook and eye closure myself in the traditional Navajo style.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns. I ship worldwide in gently used, recycled packing materials.
