This necklace is in excellent vintage condition, but will likely have the expected light surface scratches from normal wear. The chain has no kinks or bends, and the hook clasp works well and holds securely. No visible damage to the stone, just natural surface inclusions. Hand polished, but it may have missed some tarnish in addition that the patina intentionally preserved.
A very pretty, eye-catching but curvy and delicate, handcrafted and signed vintage Jack Whittaker Navajo Sterling silver and turquoise leafy blossom drop necklace. Perfectly sized in a flattering style with rich color set off by a bit of matrix in the turquoise. Gorgeous piece!
