Navajo Handmade Bead & Tassel Pearl Necklace by Jan Mariano

Handmade by the late Navajo silversmith Jan Mariano, this necklace reflects her legacy of craftsmanship and artistry. Each sterling silver bead — often referred to as a Navajo pearl — was individually formed and polished by hand, measuring approximately 9.5mm. then strung into a 24" strand that ends in a tassel drop. The result is a piece that carries both movement and tradition, balancing timeless Navajo silverwork with distinctive design. Handmade beads show natural variation in size, reflecting true craftsmanship.

A rare strand from the late Jan Mariano.
