FREE: Authentic Navajo Nellie Begay Necklace Ocean Blue/Bright Sun 70s

The listing, Authentic Navajo Nellie Begay Necklace Ocean Blue/Bright Sun 70s has ended.

This necklace was one of a large batch purchased in 1975 from the Navajo artisan Nellie Begay, who lived in Window Rock, Arizona. It was purchased for a European jewelry venture that my husband and I thought to undertake, but through unforeseen circumstances we could not complete the deal. The last couple dozen wound up in storage in my mother's home for more than three decades. I rediscovered them after her death, and over the next few weeks will be listing the last half dozen or so that I have left.

I call this one "Ocean Blue and Bright Sun." It boasts deep ocean-blue colored seed beads with genuine jojoba accents. Bright yellow long spacer beads accent the piece, which is approximately 25" in circumference if you don't include the sunburst pendant. The sunburst itself is approximately 3.5" in diameter. This is one of a kind; each of Nellie's pieces was always unique.
