Necklace c. 1930

This Navajo (Diné) necklace, dating from around 1930, showcases traditional craftsmanship and materials. The piece features a silver chain of beads, with a pendant made from a crescent-shaped silver piece accented by turquoise stones. The necklace is a stunning example of Native American jewelry artistry, a style known for its use of natural materials and symbolic designs. The crescent shape and turquoise stones likely hold cultural significance for the Navajo people. The necklace is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
