For your consideration is a gorgeous Navajo Native American Betta Lee Apache turquoise and sterling silver necklace. The Apache Blue turquoise mine is a small mine with lots of potential. The mine is located near Tonopah, Nevada in the Candelaria Mountain range. The necklace features eight lovely polished cabochons of Apache turquoise. The stones are expertly set in a shadow box setting with twisted braided rope and hand stamped border. The back of the lowest pendant is stamped “Sterling” and “B.Lee” for Navajo artist Betta Lee. The necklace measures approximately 27” when unclasped.
