Vintage Southwestern Sterling Silver & Turquoise Handmade Bead and Shield Necklace

A beautifully balanced Southwestern sterling silver necklace featuring hand-fabricated Navajo pearl-style beads and a striking turquoise pendant. The centerpiece showcases a vivid blue turquoise cabochon framed by traditional silverwork and a shield-shaped motif that evokes classic mid-century Southwest design.

What makes this piece especially appealing is its understated elegance. The artist’s design focuses on clean lines, sculptural silver elements, and a single vibrant turquoise stone. The result is a versatile necklace that feels both authentically Western and surprisingly modern.

The necklace sits gracefully at the collarbone.
