Featured in this lot is this Navajo graduated heshi and Cerrillos Turquoise necklace, circa early 1900's. The necklace features wonderfully set graduated heshi beads with 19 examples of cerrillos turquoise cabochons. The necklace is strung with the original sinew string, but features a contemporary bar lock clasp. The condition of this necklace is good for its age; however it features a modern addition to the clasp. The measurements of this necklace from clasp to clasp are 20 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/2". The necklace is strung on a waxed cotton thread with replacement silver like modern clasp.
