Selling a 36″ necklace of sterling silver benchmade beads, each bead handmade at the bench, probably by an unknown Native American, from silver disc, doming them, drilling them, and then soldering the pairs together. Some beads faintly show the seam while others don’t. The beads are strung on a silver “Foxtail” wire chain. Each bead is about 10mm diameter, total weight is 2.36 Troy ounces. Necklace is unmarked, which is common with these early handmade pieces.
