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 a lot of potential, 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 a 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.
