Description

This articulated sterling silver necklace by Navajo artist Tully Gustine, features a geometric Modernist style design, forming a collar or choker. The front section is adorned with vibrant blue stone inlay, consistent with lapis lazuli, precisely cut into trapezoidal and triangular shapes that form a central V-motif, transitioning to simpler rectangular links along the back. The clasp is marked "TSF" for Touch of Santa Fe with a copyright symbol and "STERLING", while the reverse of the central V-section bears the etched signature "T. Gustine".

Approximately 16.5 inches (41.9 cm) in length.

Weight: 44.5 GR
