Description: Item Description: This sterling silver necklace of Navajo "pearls" has been handmade by Mason Lee. The necklace is 22" long. The beads are 4 mm across. This necklace is in excellent and unworn condition. It weighs 14 grams. Throughout the 40 years that I have been in business, I have purchased jewelry from pawn shops throughout the Southwest that had collections of dead pawn. Most of these pawn shops and trading posts are now closed. The Native American would pawn his jewelry for immediate cash. The shop would hold it and charge interest until he could reclaim it. Dead pawn are the pieces that were never retrieved. Old Pawn Jewelry typically dates from the early 1900s to the 1970s. Most of the early pieces are not signed because it wasn't the Native American tradition to sign the pieces they crafted. Also, the turquoise in old pawn is turquoise that you can't get anymore because many of the mines have closed. And, the red and orange coral is rare because of the coral bleaching which is happening today. We guarantee all of our Native American Indian items to be AUTHENTIC American Indian traditional arts. **To see more vintage Native American jewelry** - Click on the Indian Jewelry category in my eBay store. - Then click on the category: such as earrings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, rings by size etc. I am currently listing 100s of beautiful old pawn and vintage Native American jewelry on eBay.
