VTG Navajo Turquoise Sterling Silver Levalier Bib Necklace Signed TED JOE 24
Spectacular vintage Navajo sterling silver and genuine black matrix turquoise levalier necklace signed TED JOE. Very solid well made necklace with beautiful stones and impeccable craftsmanship. Eight medallion-like links featuring intricate tool work and built in bails surrounding eight unique black matrix turquoise stones set with sawtooth bezels. Each of the stones is slightly different in size but they are all oval. At 24 inches (not counting the extra drop in the bib/levalier section) this is a long necklace that could work well on a tall and/ or large person.
But it would also be easy to adjust this necklace if a shorter length is desired. You can use the hook on further up the chain, or remove portions of the chain on either side. Great overall vintage condition with a rich patina, wear commensurate with age and no issues. Necklace Length (not including bib/ levalier section): 24 (61 cm).
Width: 1.1 (2.8 cm). Bib/ Levalier Size: 2-5/8" x 1.1" (6.7 x 2.8 cm). Marks: Sterling Sterling TED JOE. Vintage and/or antique merchandise may have some degree of visible wear and/or patina.
