Welcome to Le Belle Jewels Co! DESCRIPTION: Journey into the heart of Navajo craftsmanship with this exceptional old, early Navajo sterling silver collar necklace, a testament to the skill and artistry of a master silversmith, W Dodson. The collar is adorned with three vibrant turquoise stones and four corals, creating a harmonious dance of colors along with twisted rope, water droplet, leaf, and swirling details that showcase the silversmith's mastery of traditional techniques. The intricate detailing on the collar not only enhances the visual appeal but also underscores the artisan's deep connection to nature and spirituality, a hallmark of Navajo jewelry.

The necklace is crowned by a suspending sterling pendant, echoing the collar's design with a single turquoise and coral stone, and mirroring the same exquisite detailing. While unmarked, the necklace has been tested and confirmed as sterling silver. In excellent condition with slight tarnishing, the necklace carries the weighty presence of 114.2 grams, adding to its substantial feel on the wearer. Measuring 10 1/4 inches tip to tip with a gap of 2 3/4 inches, the width of 1 1/2 inches ensures a bold yet comfortable fit.

The center drop of the pendant, measuring 1 1/8 inches, provides an elegant focal point, making this Native American piece a timeless representation of cultural heritage and impeccable craftsmanship.
