Sonoran Gold Turquoise 3-Strand Necklace by Leonard Nez

A breathtaking three-strand necklace by master Navajo silversmith Leonard Nez, showcasing an abundant cascade of hand-polished Sonoran Gold Turquoise nugget beads. Each bead displays the stone's signature vivid sky-blue color with warm golden-brown matrix — a hallmark of the finest Sonoran Gold material from Sonora, Mexico. The three strands are graduated in bead size, creating a lush, layered drape that commands attention. Both ends are gathered into large, hand-crafted sterling silver barrel-style end, connected by a sterling silver ring-and-hook clasp. The clasp is stamped STERLING / LEONARD NEZ / NAVAJO, authenticating this as a genuine work of Navajo craftsmanship. A bold, collector-quality statement piece that brings the color and spirit of the Southwest to any occasion.
