Silver Navajo Pearl Beads Necklace
This sterling silver Navajo Pearl beads Necklace is a timeless expression of resilience and self-made artistry by 20-year-old Navajo silversmith Penelope Joe. Raised on the Navajo Nation near Petrified Forest National Park, Penelope grew up in a home without electricity until age 13—and still lives without running water. These conditions shaped a childhood rich in imagination, artistry, and connection to the natural world. Entirely self-taught, Penelope hand-strung each bead with precision, capturing the iconic form and subtle luster of traditional Navajo Pearls. The silver Navajo Pearl beads necklace is finished with a classic shepherd’s hook closure for ease and durability. Its simplicity allows the craftsmanship to shine—each silver sphere reflecting the enduring spirit of Diné culture. With every necklace she creates, Penelope invites wearers to carry a piece of her story: one of strength, tradition, and creative triumph. A beautiful piece, built to last and filled with purpose.
Care instructions: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouches, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, water, and prolonged sunlight. Regularly clean with a soft cloth and mild silver polish or a baking soda/water mixture and wear it often to maintain its luster.
