Navajo lariat necklace with large No. 8 Mine turquoise and purple spiney oyster shell, by the late Gilbert Tom. #1691

Rich-looking purple spiney-oyster shell is found in deeper water and is less prevalent that orange spiney.  Mate it with large, contemporary No. 8 Mine turquoise and you have a masterpiece fit for a queen (but priced for a princess).  This trophy cuff was made by master Navajo silversmith Gilbert Tom prior to his passing.  It hangs approximately 26-or 27-inches down from the back of one's neck.  The Drifter hand-picked all the stones here and Gilbert Tom did the rest.  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
