Freshwater pearls symbolize purity, harmony and humility. Pearls are organic gems that are officially the oldest gem coveted by man for their beauty and have been used as a trade commodity for thousands of years. Freshwater pearls were found in the Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee River basins by Native American Peoples and traded with merchants who exported them worldwide. The New World became known as the Land of Pearls. The beautiful Navajo Pearls are sterling silver beads traditionally made by Native American Navajo (Diné) silversmiths. Native American tribes were introduced to the technique of silversmithing by Spanish explorers in the late 1500’s. They then added this newly found craftsmanship to their traditional methods of bead making, leading to what we continue to admire today as sterling silver Navajo desert pearls. What set the Navajo Pearls apart from other beads is the light oxidized finish to the beads that lends character and depth to the finished piece. They are often paired with gemstones or mixed with multiple sizes and shapes to create beautiful patterns from simple to complex. Unisex styling, suitable for a man or woman and would make a perfect gift! Freshwater Pearl Round Center Bead- 10mm. Metal Findings – sterling silver.
