This vintage Navajo necklace by W. Begay combines sterling silver with turquoise in a detailed cluster design. Four elongated silver stations are accented with multiple rows of turquoise, separated by substantial silver beads that add dimension and balance to the composition. A circular pendant forms the focal point, featuring radiating turquoise stones arranged around concentric accents for a distinctive sunburst-inspired design.
The extensive turquoise setting continues throughout the necklace, creating a cohesive presentation from the beaded upper section to the prominent pendant. Traditional materials, intricate silverwork, and the repeating cluster arrangement give this W. Begay necklace a strong Southwestern character and make it an appealing example of vintage Navajo jewelry.
