NATIVE AMERICAN DANGLING NECKLACE. This necklace is stunning. It is the necklace we all dreamt we would have some day. Then, we grew up and woke up leaving the dreams behind.. Each time the CHAVEZ create a piece, they give us back a little back of this magic… There is a lot of ways to call it: the Navajo tradition, la poudre de perlinpimpim…. It is always for the love of beauty. The CHAVEZ family have been making jewelry for generations and generations. GLORIA CHAVEZ, the matriarchal figure of the family, has been maintaining the high quality of work all throughout the years. Her sons, with Gloria’s eyes, make incredible jewelry, traditional pieces, with a unique style. Their jewelry is INIMITABLE. This necklace shows their talent. It is a long dangling necklace made with large classic cabochons turquoise. The necklace is 25 long, can be worn shorter if desired. The center piece dangling is 5 long. The whole piece is made around the theme of the rose with the flower and the leaves intercalated with the stones. The largest central stone is 2.5 long and has an exquisite color tone, a green which seems to have been around for a long long time! The matrix with its grayish and pinkish colors accentuates this sensation of vintage piece.. Then the higher you go towards the neck the less veins the turquoise have. The heart of the rose is the mysterious dangerous oldest part.. The Chavez made wonderful sterling silver adornments for this necklace, from the most simple to the most complex. It starts with 6 of hand made links on each side of the necklace. Then it is just half round around the first 1.5 elongated turquoise… To finish in a whirlwind of beads, swirls, rose, petals and elegance… The necklace is 25″ long (6″ of hand made sterling silver chain on each side included) + 5 center piece.
