I bought these beads at an antique market today. The shape of the beads and the stamp work appealed to me. Can anyone tell me if they are Navajo handmade? I don’t specifically see a seam but the shape of the beads would hide that well. The stampwork appears hand stamped to me.
Can anyone tell me approximate value? Weight is 54g.
This is a nice handmade Navajo silver bead necklace. From the image it appears short, maybe 16"? Seems like new ones this size go around $150 - $175, but yours as this nice patina and look so I would think a little premium.
You are correct that it is shorter, 18 inches. Thanks so much for your input! It’s good to know that I was right in thinking that they are hand made and hand stamped and that I paid a fair price for them.
