Vintage Native American Turquoise & Silver Necklace

This vintage Native American necklace, possibly Navajo, features 10 mm tumbled turquoise beads with a smooth finish. The beads show minute cracks and flaws under a loupe, confirming their authenticity. The turquoise is real, with an even darker blue hue at the end holes and no white present. The stones are cold and heavy, strung on wire that may not be the original cord. The necklace includes a lobster clasp. The silver components appear to be sterling and are non-magnetic. The beads have very little matrix, indicating they were tumbled to achieve their smooth texture. The robin's egg blue color is striking, and professional-grade acetone had no effect, further confirming the turquoise's authenticity. Handmade and vintage, this necklace is a piece of old craftsmanship.
