Vintage Navajo Sterling Graduated Pearl Necklace Dark Old Pawn Patina 135 Grams

* Vintage * No markings * Navajo * Graduated sterling bench pearls * Strung on a sterling thin chain * Amazing hand stamped design * Opens and closes well * Darkened; from google: Because Navajo pearls refers to handcrafted, sterling silver bench beads rather than organic pearls, the darkening is natural tarnish from oxidation. Many collectors actually prefer this dark, antique old pawn patina, but you can easily clean the sterling silver if you prefer a brighter, high-shine finish. * From google: Why the Necklace Darkened Silver naturally reacts to sulfur and moisture in the air, resulting in a dark tarnish. Because Navajo pearls are generally hand-stamped and feature fine details, silver oxidizes in the grooves and crevices to add rich depth to the design. * Weighs 135 grams; see photo...feels solid * MEASUREMENTS: * End to end is 22 * Smallest pearl is 3/8 wide and largest pearl is 3/4 wide * No odor * Pet and smoke free * VERY impressive * Polishing is up to the individual * A couple small areas on the sterling pearls that don't have the darkened finish; see 2 photos ( from me rubbing to test) * Pre Owned VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT VINTAGE condition G061626
