Mildred Parkhurst, Necklace, Silver Half-Dollar, Sonoran Gold Turquoise, 28"
Coins have always been associated with Navajo silver. Old timers talk about giving the Navajo smiths Mexican pesos because you couldn't get any American silver. Coin silver jewelry is some of the most sought after and artists like Perry Shorty make a living hammering coins into magnificent pieces of revival art. Traditional Navajo sandcast artist Mildred Parkhurst made this necklace showcasing eight silver Lady Liberty half-dollars. Mildred adds a piece of stunning Sonoran Gold Turquoise to the classic sandcast naja. Plus, she adds a pair of earrings to dress up the set. Make sure you are ready to share the wonderful history of Navajo jewelry making with all those who strike up the conversation.
