Love the look of coral but don't want to pay the high price of the rare, un-enhanced natural red Mediterranean coral tubes? (Just ONE natural coral tube can cost $150!) This vintage Navajo red coral necklace may be just what you need. It's six strands of authentic coral tubes. Like the vast majority of later Navajo & Pueblo coral necklaces, these tubes have been dyed to a more uniform deep red color. The tubes are interspersed with sterling silver beads and rolled turquoise beads for just a little bit of contrast from the lustrous red of the coral. The necklace hangs from silver cones and a clasp, but you don't really need the clasp - this beauty is long enough that you can slip it right over your head.  So easy-to-wear, this hand-crafted vintage coral necklace will be your go-to again and again. Just ask Bonnie's mom what necklace she wears more than any other. A simple multi-strand coral necklace will be her answer.  If you want even more, this necklace is perfect for wearing with a pendant that has a 1/2 bale or a shepherd's hook. You can even tie on a pair of joclas. There's so much versatility here.  Necklace measures 27 1/4 from end to end. Coral tubes are about 1/4 long. From a long-time Native American jewelry collector. 6 Strand Red Coral Necklace Navajo handcrafted Enhanced deep red shade 6 strands Sterling silver & turquoise bead accents 27 1/4 long from end to end Coral tubes are about 1/4 long Silver cones and clasp
