Up for sale is a wonderful vintage handmade Navajo sterling silver turquoise & coral necklace by Native American silversmiths Richard & Rita Begay!

Native Americans from the southwest have paired turquoise with red materials in their jewelry for a long time. Its a beautiful combination of colors and contrast and rooted in symbolic meaning. Coral is not found in any ocean of the Americas. Therefore any \"red gold,\" (often called by some artists) that was used in jewelry would have come to the Americas through trade or \"Wampum\" (trade beads) after the Spanish Conquistadors arrived in 1521. The bright red Mediterranean coral is rare today.

The necklace is 19.24\" long and weighs5.3g.Pendant measures1 1/4\"long, and1-1/8\"wide.The back of the pendant is stamped with the maker\'s hallmark, the initials RB and \"sterling.\"

The necklace has been examined and tested for purity and is sterling silver.
