About the Item

Total weight equals 117.2 grams / 4.14 ounces Measuring approximately 27 inches in length, this necklace can be worn as a single dramatic strand or wrapped twice around the neck for a layered choker look. Its versatile design transitions effortlessly from casual boho styling to elevated Western glam. Likely handcrafted by a Navajo artisan in the mid to late 20th century.
