This turquoise necklace is signed Darrin Livingston, a Navajo silversmith known for precise stone settings and carefully finished silverwork. Eleven polished teardrop stones follow the open horseshoe shape of the sterling silver naja centerpiece, combining vivid turquoise blue, mossy green patches and golden-brown matrix. Twisted-rope borders, rounded silver beads and stamped starburst accents add texture around the smooth stone settings. An elongated oval-link chain complements the softly darkened finish of the centerpiece. The broad curve and rich colors give the necklace a bold, confident presence, expressing a strong appreciation for turquoise and detailed silverwork.
