Diné Silver and Coral Spiral Necklace and Earrings Set [SOLD]

This Diné of the Navajo Nation coral necklace is composed of silver spirals in a wave-like motion with the tail end of each spiral connecting with the adjoining spiral. There are seven of these spirals and each one has a small red coral secured in a silver bezel. A pair of matching earrings is included. A marking of the letter W appears, along with Sterling, on the necklace and one earring, however we have been unable to identify the artist by that single initial.

The set has an energy of its own as the spirals evoke rolling waves. The necklace is attached to handmade chains. The earrings are fitted for pierced ears.

Condition: very good condition

Provenance: this Diné Silver and Coral Spiral Necklace and Earrings Set is from a private collection
